Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are expected to return to Earth in their own SpaceX capsule later this week.
Just over a day after blasting off, a SpaceX crew capsule arrived at the International Space Station on Sunday, delivering the replacements for Nasa’s two stuck astronauts.
The four newcomers – representing the United States, Japan and Russia – will spend the next few days learning the station’s ins and outs from Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
