Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore arrived at the space station on 5 June 2024.
Indian -origin American astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmor’s return from International Space Station (ISS) have been postponed. NASA has postponed the mission crew-10 going to be taken. This mission was to be launched from SpaceX’s rocket Falcon 9 on 12 March.
However, this mission has been postponed due to a malfunction in the hydraulic system in the ground support clamp arm of the rocket. Buch Villmore and Sunita Williams have been stranded on ISS for the past nine months. He arrived there in June 2024. They had to stay there only a week.
Both these astronauts reached ISS through Boeing’s Starlineer Spacecraft. This spacecraft returned to Earth in September without a crew. According to Fox News, during Docking from ISS, Starlineer faced a problem in helium leaks and spacecraft reaction control thrusters.
According to NASA, the next window for launching will be held after 4.56 am Indian time.
After reaching the space station on 6 June, Starlineer Crew Flight Test Commander Buch Wilmore and Pilot Sunita Williams crew.
Musk’s responsibility to bring back to SpaceX
US President Donald Trump has tasked the Space X’s CEO Ellon Musk to bring back Sunita Williams and his colleague Buch Wilmore.
Trump wrote on social media in January- I have asked Musk to bring back those two ‘brave astronauts’. These have been left in space by the Biden administration. They have been waiting for several months at the space station. Musk will soon be engaged in this work. Hopefully everyone will be safe.
Musk said in response to this that we will do the same. It is terrible that the Biden administration has left him there for so long.
However, NASA had included Musk’s SpaceX several months ago to bring back the two astronauts under his crew.
Why was Sunita and Wilmore sent to the space station?
Sunita and Buch went to Wilmore Boeing and NASA’s joint ‘Crew Flight Test Mission’. It was Sunita, a pilot of spacecraft. Buch Wilmore, who accompanied him, was the commander of this mission. Both were to come back to Earth after staying at the International Space Station (ISS) for 8 days.
At the time of launch, Boeing Defense, Space and Security President and CEO Ted Colbert described it as a magnificent beginning of the new era of Space Research. The main objective of this mission was to prove the ability to bring back the astronauts of the spacecraft to the space station.
Astronauts also had to do research and several experiments in 8 days at the space station. Sunita and Wilmore are the first Astronauts sent to Space Travel via Atlas-V rocket. During this mission, he was also manually flying the spacecraft. Many types of objectives related to flight tests were also to be completed.
How Sunita and Wilmore got stuck in space for so long?
It had many problems since the launch of Starlineer Spacecraft. Due to these, the launch had failed several times before June 5. Even after the launch, there was news of problems in the spacecraft.
NASA reported that there is a small helium leak in the thruster of the service module of the spacecraft. A spacecraft consists of several thresters. With their help, spacecraft changes its way and speed. At the same time, there is pressure on the rocket due to helium gas. His structure remains strong, which helps the rocket to its flight.
After the launch, 5 heliums leaked in Spacecraft capsules in 25 days. 5 thrusters had stopped working. In addition, a propalent valve could not be completely discontinued. The crew present in the space and the managers of the mission sitting in Houston, USA could not fix it either.
