NASA confirms Butch Wilmore’s return to Earth date Sunita Williams shares Splashdown Time
Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will be transported home with another American astronaut and Russian astronauts on the SpaceX crew.
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams are finally planning to return to Earth after nine months on the International Space Station (ISS). NASA said on Sunday that their return trip is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 18 (GMT).
SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carries NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takuya Onishi, Roscosmos Cosmonaut Kirill Peskov and CEO of the International Space Station (Space X) announced that it is related to the International Space Station.
According to a statement issued by NASA, the CREW-10 will join the expedition team of NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Don Petitt, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore and Roscosmos Cosmonauts Aleksandr Gorbunov, Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner on 72 crew members. After the crew transfer period, the number of crew members on the space station will increase to 11.
SpaceX and NASA launched a mission to withdraw ISS’s U.S. astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the ISS, where they were trapped for nine months. The lift was held on Friday at 7:03 ET, with the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dragon spacecraft on the Crew-10 Mission.
The release follows the release after U.S. President Donald Trump urged SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to save stranded astronauts. He repeatedly accused former U.S. President Joe Biden of putting it in space.
Trump said on March 7 that he had authorized Elon Musk to bring back U.S. astronauts – Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been in trouble with the International Space Station since last June. Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams stayed on ISS for nine months after arriving there last June.
They should be there for about a week. Astronauts were transported from Earth to the ISS on Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, but the spacecraft was unmanned in September.
According to Fox News, this is when connecting with the ISS, Starliner faces “helium leak” and “a problem with spacecraft reaction control thrusters.”
