Astronaut and Massachusetts native Sunita L. Williams is another step closer to returning to Earth. Williams, a native of Needham, and Butch Wilmore of Tennessee have been stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) since last June due to problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing's Starliner.

After a nine-month-long overstay, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are set to return to Earth tomorrow, with the crew slated to undock from the International Space Station (ISS) today.
