Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will return to Earth on SpaceX's Crew Dragon.
The astronauts have been stuck on the ISS since June due to issues with Boeing's Starliner.
It's another blow to Boeing, which is competing with SpaceX to deliver NASA astronauts to space.

NASA has decided the lives of two astronauts stuck at the International Space Station will be in SpaceX's hands after weeks of intense deliberation and serious safety concerns.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson made the announcement during a press conference on Saturday at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
