Washington:
US space agency NASA said that astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore could return to Earth a little before the scheduled time from the International Space Station (ISS). US space agency NASA gave this information on Tuesday. NASA said that ‘SpaceX’ will change the capsule for upcoming astronaut flights. Buch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will be able to return to Earth in mid -March instead of the end of March or early April. Let me tell you that Indian -origin astronaut Sunita Williams and his colleague Buch Wilmore have been stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024. Both of them rode on the Starlineer of Boeing and went on an eight -day mission for the ISS. But due to technical problems, he could not return from Boeing’s Starlineer Capsule.
- Williams (59) and Wilmore rode on Boeing’s Starelineer in June 2024 and went on an ISS’s eight -day mission.
- However, Starelineer was unsafe for their return due to technical problems such as helium leakage and threster malfunction.
- NASA plans to bring him back to Earth through a spacecraft built by Boeing’s rival company SpaceX at the end of March.
What is NASA’s plan
In September last year, NASA-SpaceX spacecraft left for the International Space Station (ISS) with two astronauts. Through this, Sunita Williams and Buch Willmore have to be brought back. The NASA-SpasX Mission was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Apart from crew-9 members, the spacecraft has two vacant seats for Wilmore and Sunita Williams.
Recently, US President Donald Trump had spoken to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk back to astronauts. American President Donald Trump said that SpaceX would soon start a mission to bring back both astronauts. Trump wrote on his Truth social platform, Alan Musk will soon start work on it. Hope everyone will be safe.
Due to technology, Starlineer capsules were sent to the earth empty from the international space station. Now the new capsule will be launched on March 12.
