Washington:NASA Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams left the International Space Station (ISS) in SpaceX capsule early Tuesday morning for a long-awaited trip back to Earth, nine months on their Boeing’s malfunctioning Starliner Craft, which lifted about a week of testing missions. The crew is part of NASA’s Crew 9 Astronaut Rotation Mission, which is scheduled to splash on the Florida coast at 3.27 a.m. Wednesday. A NASA official said the splashed weather conditions are expected to be “primitive”.
After landing, astronauts will undergo several days of health checks at the Johnson Passion Center in Houston, with each case of routine astronauts returning, and they are allowed to go home after NASA flight surgeons have approved them to go home.
From muscle atrophy to possible visual impairment, living in space for several months can affect the body in many ways.
Radiation exposure is a challenge for long-term tasks even before considering psychological losses of isolation.
After the splash, Wilmore and Williams will record 286 days in space – longer than the average six-month ISS mission, but far lower than our record holder Frank Rubio. His 371 consecutive days in space ending in 2023 were the unexpected result of coolant leakage on Russian spacecraft.
Williams has limited her third space flight, which will account for 608 cumulative days in space, the second biggest day for any American astronaut after 675 days. Russian astronaut Oleg Kononenko set a world record with a total of 878 last year.
Wilmore and Willore and Williams are two senior NASA astronauts and retired U.S. Navy test pilots whose crew Dragon Space Shuttle took a 17-hour 17-hour trip from the Orbital Laboratory (GMT) along with two other astronauts from the Orbital Laboratory (GMT 0505 GMT) Orbital Laboratory.
“Crew 9 is coming home,” Commander Nick Hague leaned slowly from the inside of the capsule, away from the station, which NASA officials described in the event network broadcast, “travel downhill trip.”
The Hague said it was an honor to call the station as part of an international effort to “human interests.”
The astronauts wore reentered suits, boots and helmets, laughed earlier on NASA’s live footage, hugged and posed for a photo from the station with colleagues, and then locked them up in the case of final pressure, communication and sealing tests for two hours.
The homecoming of Wilmore and Williams ended an unusual, engaging mission full of uncertainty and technical difficulties that turned NASA’s contingency plan case (and the failures encountered by Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft) into a global and political scene. Their dilemma attracted the attention of the world and gave new meanings to the phrase “stay working”. – Organization
