NASA and SpaceX successfully launched a long -awaited manned mission to bring back American astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore, stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months. There was a 24 -hour delay in launching this mission. There was a technical fault in the ground support clamp arm of Falcon 9 rocket.
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. NASA has said that the crew-9 mission, which already has a separate dragon spacecraft at the space station, then ignored from the revolving laboratory and will return to Earth.
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.
Sunita Williams, born in 1965 in Ohio, Merika, is a retired officer of the US Navy who was selected by NASA as an astronaut in 1998. He is an MSc in Engineering Management from Florida Institute of Technology. He has 3000 hours of flight experience in 30 types of different aircrafts. This is Sunita Williams’ third tour of the International Space Station.
