The two astronauts, which have been stranded at the International Space Station (ISS) for about 9 months, left the station to return to Earth with SpaceX’s Dragon Capsule.
The US Aviation and Space Agency (NASA) lived live the departure of Butch Wilmore and Artificial Williams, which were stranded in space for months, with the Dragon capsule.
Wilmore and Williams are accompanied by NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonot Alexander Gorbunov on the return journey, which is expected to last about 17 hours.
Following the last 9 months in space, it is expected that the capsule that will reach two astronors to its home is expected to land in the evening in the evening if the weather conditions are appropriate.
On June 5, 2024, Williams and Wilmore were sent to ISS for a one -week test flight with Boeing’s new Starliner capsule.
However, the return date of the two astronauts due to the technical breakdown in Starliner was postponed, and NASA gave the directive of the empty return of the capsule.
The new crew, which will replace Wilmore and Williams, which has been trapped in ISS for about 9 months, reached ISS on March 16 with the Dragon capsule of Space X.
The Crew-10 team of members from the United States, Japan and Russia received trained about Wilmore and Iss from Williams for several days.
In the Crew-10 team, NASA’s mission commander Anne McClain and Mission pilot Nichole Ayers, as well as the Japan Space Research Agency (JAXA) Takuya Takuya Takuyu and Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) Kirill Peskov.
