Sunita Williams’ return from space is delayed.
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams has been stuck in space for a long time. His return to the land is constantly delayed. On 5 June, she went to space with her partner Buch Wilmore on just 10 days mission. But both could not return due to technical flaw in Starlineer. Both have been stranded at the International Space Station for the last 9 months. His return is once again delayed. Sunita and Buch were to return in February 2025. But both could not return due to the delay in the next crew launch. NASA announced on Tuesday that both astronauts would remain in space by the end of March.
Why is Sunita Williams delay in return from space?
According to Steve Stitch, manager of NASA’s commercial crew program, some necessary work is to be done in the dragon spacecraft, due to which the return of both astronauts is delayed. Less than an hour before the crew launch, SpaceX postponed the launch of Falcon 9 rocket from Florida, USA. A team of four astronauts riding in it was going to go to space. These people were about to replace astronauts Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore stuck in space.
Who was going to go to the dragon spacecraft?
NASA astronaut Anne McClane and Nicole Aarce, Jaxa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roskosomos astronaut Kiril Peskov were to board the space in a spacecraft. But after finding out the flaw, now everyone was safely out of the dragon spacecraft. The rocket is also safe.
It is also the time of Thursday and Friday for the launch of the rocket. If Alan Musk fixes the person related to SpaceX hydrolics, then Falcon 9 rocket can be launched this week. If everything goes well by March 19, SpaceX Crew Dragon will bring Sunita Williams and Buch Willmore back to Earth.
