A parking spot shuffle coming up this weekend more than 250 miles above Earth will mark a unique feat for a pair of NASA astronauts who will become the first to fly in both Boeing's Starliner and SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft.

NASA's Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who flew up to the International Space Station in Starliner, but remained on board when NASA opted to return it back to Earth without a crew, are now part of the four-member crew that will fly home on the SpaceX Crew Dragon Freedom next year.

Freedom arrived on the ISS on Sept. 29 with just two crew—NASA's Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov —leaving room for Wilmore and Williams on that flight home targeting February 2025.

But because parking space is limited at the ISS, all four will climb on board early Sunday for a short trip moving from the Crew Dragon Freedom from the front-facing port of the space station's Harmony module, and redock it to the space-facing port of the same module.

That will make room for the planned launch of a SpaceX Cargo Dragon on the CRS-31 mission launching from Kennedy Space Center's Space Launch Complex 39-A as early as 9:29 p.m. Monday carrying 6,000 pounds of supplies.
