  Sunita Williams Return Date News: NASA said in a statement on Sunday evening that the astronauts' anticipated ocean splashdown will take place off the Florida coast on March 18 (GMT).

Sunita Williams, a NASA astronaut, is set to return to Earth after spending 10 months in space, with her return date scheduled for no earlier than September 27, 2023. During her extended stay on the International Space Station (ISS), she has been involved in various scientific experiments and maintenance tasks. Upon her return, Williams may face several health challenges due to the prolonged exposure to microgravity, including muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and cardiovascular adjustments. She will also need to readjust to Earth's gravity, which could lead to balance and coordination issues, as well as potential vision changes due to fluid shifts in the body. NASA has protocols in place to help astronauts like Williams readjust to life on Earth, including rehabilitation programs to rebuild muscle and bone strength, and monitoring for any long-term health effects from her time in space.
