NASA and SpaceX have launched the Crew-10 mission to bring back the stranded astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore. In this mission, Falcon 9 rockets have flew from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center regarding the dragon spacecraft.
A crew dragon capsule with Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center launched at 7:03 pm (local time). In this mission, a team of four members started traveling towards their target.
Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore have been stuck in space for the last 9 months, due to the problems of Boeing Starlineer. If the crew-10 mission is successful, Williams and Wilmore are expected to depart from ISS after March 20.
When his spacecraft arrives at the International Space Station on March 15 and do the dock there, the four astronauts will spend a few days before taking charge of Crew-9, which will not leave before March 19.
Crew-10 is the 10th crew rotation mission under the human space transport system of SpaceX and the 11th flight with the Crew to the ISS station through the NASA’s commercial crew program including the Demo-2 test flight.
Two astronauts of US space agency NASA Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore went to space for a mission of only 10 days. But for the last 9 months, both are stranded at the International Space Station. Last year, both of them flew to the International Space Station (ISS) sitting on the first crew test flight (crew test flight) of the Starlineer spacecraft of Boeing. Both were to return to Earth after 10 days. But Starlineer Spacecraft’s thruster failed and could not do the dock at the space station. The effort was made several times but this malfunction could not be overcome.
While both Buch Wilmor and Sunita Williams are experienced astronauts and are the Test pilots of the American Navy, but they were not sent with preparations to stay in space for so long but based on their old experience, both are successful at the international space station with success and are engaged in experiments and maintenance work there throughout the time.
