SpaceX’s Crew-9 capsule docked at the International Space Station (ISS) with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. The mission also brought two empty seats for astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who will return to Earth in 2024 after a months-long stay. SpaceX paused Falcon 9 flights due to a second-stage anomaly after the successful launch. NASA opted to keep Williams and Wilmore in space after Starliner malfunctions prevented their return on the Boeing spacecraft.
