Daryn Wilmore , 19 , said her father will receive a meagre $5 extra per day he was in space as compensation.

After spending 286 days on the International Space Station , that works out to be around $1,380 .

Wilmore and his crewmate, Sunita Williams , will face months of rehabilitation to counteract the debilitating muscle and bone loss as well as structural changes to the heart that occurred in the low gravity environment of space.

President Donald Trump said he would pay overtime for the extra days they spent in space.

The Boeing Starliner spacecraft experienced thruster failures and helium leaks during its mission to bring Williams and Wilmore to the ISS in June .

Both of them safely made it to the space station, but in August , NASA decided it would be too risky to let the pair fly home on the faulty spacecraft.

Now that they're back on Earth , they will begin a 45-day rehabilitation program that will require them to exercise for two hours per day, seven days per week .
