A pair of astronauts trapped at the international space station for more than nine months were close to returning home on Sunday after a replacement crew carried out with a replacement crew’s orbital outpost.
Astronauts were shown on live TV and were shown hugging their counterparts in zero gravity at the space station soon after their SpaceX crew dragon arrived at 0545 GMT.
After the Boeing Starlineer spacecraft, they have boarded the ISS since June, which they were testing on their first crew travel, boarding the ISS and were considered disqualified to fly back to Earth.
William said it was a “amazing day” and “great to see our friends,” speaking immediately after emerging at the orbital lab of your colleges.
Footage posted online by NASA’s astronaut Don Petit reached the ISS of the crew’s dragon vehicle, as he revolved around the Earth.
The Starlineer of the NASA pairing was empty on Earth, without experiencing further major issues-they were stuck for nine months, which was for a day-long roundtrip.
His long stay was much longer than the standard ISS rotation for astronauts of about six months.
But it is much lower compared to the 371 -day American space records set by NASA astronaut Frank Rubio in 2023, or the world records conducted by the Russian Cosmonot Valerie Polycov, who spent 437 consecutive days on the MIR Space Station.
Nevertheless, the unexpected nature of their tenure away from their families – they had to get additional clothes and personal care items as they did not pack enough – interested and sympathy around the world.
Wilmore and Williams will now start preparing for departure and splatter their ocean from Florida coast, not soon compared to March 19.
Along with the pair, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian Cosmonot Alexandra Gorbunov will also ride in the Dragon capsules returning.
The replacement crew -10 team exploded from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday.
The team consists of NASA astronaut Anne McClane and Nicole Aerce, Japan’s Takua Onishi and Russia’s Kiril Peskov. During its mission, the new crew will conduct a series of scientific experiments, including flammability testing for future spacecraft design and research on the effects of space on the human body.
