With the Crew-10 ISS docking, NASA is looking to March 19 at 4 a.m. EDT, for the departure of the Crew 9 Dragon designated Freedom that launched and docked to the ISS over Sept. 28-29 with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov and two empty seats needed for the return of Wilmore and Williams to Earth.

NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos astronauts join the ISS after a successful SpaceX Dragon mission, welcomed by Expedition 72 crew.

Reaching orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the newest crew includes NASA’s Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, both military pilots; and Japan’s Takuya Onishi and Russia’s Kirill Peskov, both former airline pilots. They will spend the next six months at the space station, considered the normal stint, after springing Wilmore and Williams free.
