Nasa’s two stuck astronauts -- Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams -- headed back to Earth with SpaceX on Tuesday to close out a dramatic marathon mission that began with a bungled Boeing test flight more than nine months ago.

PM Modi said he enquired about Sunita Williams when he met President Donald Trump and his predecessor Joe Biden during his recent visits to the United States.

Sunita Williams expressed her gratitude for the Prime Minister's thoughtful gesture and the support from India during her time in space.

As the NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore begin their journey back home from space, after staying ‘stranded’ at the International Space Station (ISS) for about nine months, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a letter to one of India’s most illustrious daughters hoping for her safe return. 📰 PM Narendra Modi Pens Letter to NASA Astronaut Sunita Williams Ahead of Her Homecoming, Says ‘Looking Forward to Seeing You in India’.
