NASA and SpaceX on Friday launched a long-awaited crew to the International Space Station that opens the door to bringing home U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have been stuck on the orbital lab for nine months, AP reported.

Wilmore and Williams need SpaceX to fly this relief crew to the space station before they can check out. Arrival is scheduled for late Saturday night.

NASA wants an overlap between the two crews so Wilmore and Williams can brief the newcomers on what happens aboard the orbiting lab. That will prepare them for undocking next week and splashdown off the Florida coast, weather permitting.

The duo will be escorted back by astronauts who flew up on a rescue mission on SpaceX last September alongside two empty seats reserved for Wilmore and Williams on the return leg.

About The New Crew

The new crew, which will be launching into orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, includes NASA's Anne McClain and Nicole Ayers, both military pilots; and Japan's Takuya Onishi and Russia's Kirill Peskov, both former airline pilots.

They will spend the next six months at the space station, considered the normal stint, after springing Wilmore and Williams free.

"Spaceflight is tough, but humans are tougher," McClain said minutes into the flight, ap reported.

Global Attention

Their unexpectedly long mission, already capturing global attention, took a political turn earlier this year when President Donald Trump and SpaceX’s Elon Musk vowed to speed up the astronauts’ return and blamed the previous administration for delays.
