LIVE: @NASA_Astronauts @AstroHague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore are talking about their #Crew9 mission to the @Space_Station, which returned to Earth on Tuesday, March 18.
NASA’s SpaceX #Crew9 astronauts will discuss their science mission during a postflight news conference at 2:30 p.m. EDT Monday, March 31, from the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. 🧑🚀 go.nasa.gov/425ccoq Got questions for Nick, Butch, & Suni? Use #AskNASA
Looking back on our journey home. It was a privilege to call @Space_Station home, to live and work, and to be a part of a mission and a team that spans the globe working in cooperation for the benefit of humanity. Crew-10, we're excited to see what you will accomplish!
Home sweet home. 🏠 NASA’s SpaceX #Crew9 touched down at Johnson Space Center’s Ellington Field in Houston at 11:19 pm CDT, March 18, after their @Space_Station mission and successful splashdown earlier this afternoon. Welcome home, Butch, Suni, Nick, & Aleksandr!
Welcome home, @AstroHague, @Astro_Suni, Butch, and Aleks! 🌎✨ Crew-9 splashed down safely in the water off the coast of Florida near Tallahassee on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Hague, Gorbunov, Williams, and Wilmore have returned to Earth from a long-duration science expedition…
Splashdown confirmed! #Crew9 is now back on Earth in their @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.
What a beautiful sight to see the snow-covered Rockies in Colorado. Hey, Air Force Academy - hello down there! Soon, there will be two grads up here on the @Space_Station, @Astro_Ayers and me. Go Falcons! Go Crew-10!

I'm looking forward to seeing my classmate, Expedition 59 crewmate, spacewalking partner, and friend @AstroAnnimal float through the hatch. Go Crew-10!




As my time on the @Space_Station winds down, I feel an even stronger pull to look out the window and take in the striking beauty of Earth.




How do we not float away during a spacewalk? Tethers! Thanks for the great questions, St. Ambrose!
Time to head home. 🌎 Crew-9 is scheduled to return to Earth after a brief handover period. They conducted dozens of experiments during their stay aboard @Space_Station. Check out Crew-9’s scientific milestones: go.nasa.gov/41Hgi6V
When we return to Earth, the thing that feels strange is gravity! Up here on the @Space_Station, you get used to being able to float around and be upside down.
