A warm reception is in the offing for record-setting astronaut Sunita Williams as the Indian-American, along with fellow cosmonaut Aki Hoshide, heads for Houston after completing her space voyage.       

While Williams will arrive in Houston with Hoshide today, her fellow cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko is returning to a Russian space facility outside Moscow.       

Her family has expressed gratitude for the encouragement and prayers by people in India for Sunita's safe return.        

"We are happy and thankful to Lord for her successful Mission. We are so very thankful to everyone in India for their encouragement and prayers for their daughter Suni," said Williams's father Deepak Pandya.
