Sunita Williams' spacecraft has been docked at the International Space Station (ISS) for over 50 days, surpassing its intended 45-day limit. Despite this extended docking period, there is no immediate threat to the astronauts, as the ISS is equipped with ample supplies and materials to support the crew for several additional months. However, should safety concerns persist, the astronauts might need to return to Earth using SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which is also currently docked at the ISS.
The situation is under close observation to ensure the astronauts' safety and well-being during their prolonged stay in space. The ongoing monitoring aims to address any potential issues and maintain crew safety throughout their extended mission..
