Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have arrived back on Earth after a 17-hour journey in the four-person SpaceX Dragon Capsule.

The pair spent 286 days onboard the International Space Station after the failure of Boeing's Starliner capsule extended their original week-long mission.

The SpaceX Dragon capsule containing Williams and Wilmore, along with their colleagues Aleksandr Gorbunov and Nick Hague, splashed down as planned off the Florida coast this morning, Australian time.

All four astronauts have now been safely taken out of the capsule.
