SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft successfully reached orbit Saturday with an unusually small crew heading to the International Space Station.
SpaceX launches capsule that will return Starliner crew next year
The Dragon capsule carrying the SpaceX Crew-9 will bring back Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, who have been stuck on the ISS far longer than planned.

The 1.2 million-pound Falcon 9 rocket carrying the capsule took off Saturday from Cape Canaveral, Fla. NASA and SpaceX were cleared for launch after a Tuesday test, although the launch was delayed by two days when Hurricane Helene made landfall off the Gulf of Mexico.
