NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore surely didn't think they'd still be on the International Space Station this long when they left Earth in June. In fact, they initially expected to stay for just eight days.

The astronauts who traveled to the International Space Station aboard the Boeing Starliner are in good health, a NASA spokesperson has said, dismissing fake online reports of their death. The false narrative also includes false quotes attributed to Elon Musk.

The International Space Station (ISS) started 2025 with a long-awaited return to EVA activities from the United States Orbital Segment (USOS). These spacewalks were sharply curtailed in 2024 due to issues with the aging Space Shuttle-era Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) suits.

Barry Wilmore remains at the International Space Station after problems with a spacecraft, with late March now the scheduled return date.

On January 21, the Expedition 72 crew spent the day getting ready for their second spacewalk of 2025 outside the International Space Station (ISS). This mission focuses on removing old communications equipment and investigating the presence of potential microbes.

Two NASA astronauts are currently hard at work in space, patching up an instrument called NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer).

Suni Williams steps outside the International Space Station for the first time since arriving in June on Boeing’s Starliner.

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Nick Hague are set to step outside the International Space Station (ISS) for a spacewalk.

The two astronauts have a busy day ahead of them. Hague and Williams will "patch light leaks in the NICER X-ray telescope, then ready the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer for future upgrades," NASA officials wrote in a Jan. 15 blog post.

NASA astronauts Nick Hague and Suni Williams completed a six-hour spacewalk to repair and upgrade equipment outside the International Space Station on Thursday (Jan. 16).

At the time of writing, Williams and ISS crewmate, Nick Hague, are conducting NASA’s first spacewalk in over a year. The pair are scheduled to spend roughly 6.5 hours in the vacuum of space, where they will work on a number of long overdue external repairs and equipment assessments.

One of NASA's two stuck astronauts is getting a change of scenery. Suni Williams stepped out on a spacewalk Thursday, her first since arriving at the International Space Station seven months ago.
