The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying them and two other astronauts—Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov—splashed down into the waters off the coast of Florida state just minutes before 6 p.m., as NASA had announced.

While other astronauts had logged longer spaceflights over the decades, none had to deal with so much uncertainty or see the length of their mission expand by so much as these two

The four newcomers — representing the US, Japan and Russia — will spend the next few days learning the station’s ins and outs from Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams

The Dragon spacecraft took off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida at 7:03 pm ET on Friday (4.33 am on Saturday IST)

The launch, originally planned for today from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, was scrubbed less than an hour before liftoff due to a hydraulic system issue with a ground support clamp arm on the rocket

The $488 million Spherex mission aims to explain how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years, and how the universe expanded so fast in its first moments

Hours after the landing, Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus said there was conflicting data about how Athena landed and whether it was on its side

Sunita Williams has told Elon Musk during a recent call to dump the International Space Station in two years, rather than waiting until NASA’s  projected de-orbit in 2031

The SpaceX's countdown got down to the 40-second mark, but it was halted because of issues with the 403-foot (123-metre) rocket, the world's largest and most powerful

Scientists worldwide had dubbed asteroid YR 4 as a ‘city killer’ due to its estimated size that ranged between 40 meters and 90 meters.

Williams and Wilmore have been stuck in space since June last year due to technical problems with Boeing's Starliner which took them to ISS

For the first time, scientists worldwide may need to seriously explore a deflection strategy to counter the threat of asteroid YR4, which, according to NASA, now carries a 2.3 percent chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032.

It was the 18th month of the last 19 that the world hit or passed the internationally agreed upon warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times

The findings provide the strongest evidence yet that asteroids may have planted the seeds of life on Earth and that these ingredients were mingling with water almost right from the start

The two landers rocketed away in the middle of the night from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center

The Firefly constellation satellites were integrated via Exolaunch and launched aboard the Transporter-12 rideshare mission with SpaceX. The launch took place around 1 am
