一场原计划仅八天的太空任务，却因波音“星际客机”突发故障，让NASA宇航员苏尼·威廉姆斯和布奇·威尔莫尔在国际空间站滞留了长达九个月之久。这场备受全球航天界瞩目的“太空马拉松”，终于在本周二迎来了结局：在万众瞩目之下，他们与同伴尼克·黑格、亚历山大·戈尔布诺夫一同搭乘SpaceX龙飞船，历经约17小时的返程，于周二下午平安溅落在佛罗里达州海岸。

The spacecraft completed multiple orbit-lowering maneuvers, and re-entered Earth"s atmosphere before a parachute-supported splashdown off Florida"s coast.机组人员于周二早些时候与国际空间站分离，开始了约17小时的返程之旅。飞船完成了多次轨道下降操作，重新进入地球大气层，随后在佛罗里达州海岸附近借助降落伞溅落。A recovery ship moved into position to hoist Dragon onto the main deck with the Crew-9 crew members inside, and teams on the ship secured Dragon to ensure the spacecraft"s safe recovery.一艘回收船将龙飞船吊至主甲板，船上的团队确保飞船安全回收。After the hatch was opened, the four astronauts egressed the capsule one by one with the help of medical personnel. Medical teams will evaluate the crew"s health, which is routine after astronauts return from space, according to NASA.舱门打开后，四名宇航员在医疗人员的协助下逐一离开舱体。NASA表示，医疗团队将对宇航员的健康状况进行评估，这是宇航员从太空返回后的常规程序。The crew splashed down one day earlier than NASA had targeted due to favorable conditions forecast for the evening of Tuesday, according to the space agency, which expressed concerns about weather conditions later in the week.由于周二晚间的天气条件有利，宇航员比NASA原计划提前一天返回，NASA此前对本周晚些时候的天气状况表示担忧。Williams and Wilmore had been stuck in space since last June due to technical problems of Boeing"s Starliner which took them to the ISS, including helium leaks and propulsion issues. The duo astronauts were initially scheduled for an eight-day mission in space, but were stranded at the ISS for over nine months.威廉姆斯和威尔莫尔自去年六月以来因波音“星际客机”飞船的技术问题（包括氦气泄漏和推进系统故障）而滞留在太空。他们原计划执行为期八天的太空任务，但最终在国际空间站停留了超过九个月。NASA said Crew-9 astronauts have completed more than 900 hours of research between more than 150 unique scientific experiments and technology demonstrations during their stay aboard the orbiting laboratory.NASA表示，Crew-9飞行任务的宇航员在轨道实验室停留期间完成了超过150项独特的科学实验和技术演示，累计研究时间超过900小时。综合来源：每日英语听力等
