Wilmore and Williams flew to ISS in June on Boeing Starliner as it was supposed to be a tester for eight days to ratify the new space ship.

NASA then announced that the husband will return to the Spacex Crew-9 spacecraft, which was launched in September with a crew of two instead of four in order to absorb them.
It was initially scheduled for the flight in February, but later moved to March due to the delays by Spacex in preparing the spacecraft for the 10th crew, whose crew will replace the crew 9.
