Two nasa astronauts that were stuck on International space station For over seven months, she plans to finally return home in March, before it was expected.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams stranded space station since they left the country June 5, 2024, on Starlininer Boeing aircraft, which experienced the problems of leakage of helium and the drive system system. Wilmore and Williams became aware of the problem after being placed on the space station.
The Spacex Dragons aircraft should start on March 12th to head to the space station and then return home with Wilmore and Williams after a multi -day handover, NASA said. The acceleration time line comes after the December agency said that at the end of March it would be the earliest starting date.
“Human space flight It is full of unexpected challenges. Our Operational Flexibility Allows a Huge Partnership between NASA -ei Spacex -Ai Agility Spacex still shows a safe satisfaction with the needs of the emergence agency, “said Steve Stiich, a manager of the NASA commercial crew program, said Tuesday. Their proactive approach to us that another spacecraft is ready for evaluation and use in support of the CEW-10. “

Nasa was able to successfully bring Starliner to Earth in September without Wilmore and Williams.
The administration then found that Crew-9 would retrieve two stranded astronauts on the Spacex of Dragon’s aircraft and return to the ground, with the initial projected Date of February 2025.
In order to come back, the handover will appear between Crew-9 and Crew-10. The Spacex team is expected to arrive at the Space Station on March 12, “waiting for the readiness of the mission and the completion of the Certification Agency for the readiness for the flight,” NASA said in a statement for the public.

Once CREW-10 arrives, the team will have a brief introduction and inspection of the liquid space and the CREW-10 station to replace the crew-9 at the space station.
At that moment, Nas and Spacex will work together to prepare the crew back to Earth with Wilmore and Williams, along with the Crew-9 Astronauts of Nick Hague from NASA and Roscosmos Cosmonut Alexander Gorbunov.

On the Crew-10 team are NASA’s Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Jax Takuya Onisha Mission Expert and Roscosmos Specialist Kirill Peskov.
In September, Wilmore and Williams convinced journalists not to “hug” because of their situation in space, adding that they are “grateful” for more time at the space station.

“Boeing is on board. We’re all on board with that,” Wilmore said at the time. “We found some things that we just couldn’t get comfortable back to Starlininer when we had other options.”
The CREW-10 will use the previous flight of Dragon aircraft, which will mark its fourth mission to the space station after previously supported by flights of agencies-3, Crew-5 and Crew-7, NASA states.
