Nasa Astronaut Sunita williams May Return to Earth Next Month, ISRO

Astronaut Sunita Williams, trapped at the International Space Station (ISS) for the past several months, may return to the Earth next month. The American Space Agency NASA has reported that the crew-10 mission for ISS is a target to launch on March 12 instead of 25 March. Williams’ fellow Astronaut butch Wilmore will also be brought to this mission.

The NASA has said that the crew-10 mission will use the spacecraft enduration of Spacex, which has taken the first flying instead of the new spacecraft. NASA and Billionaire Elon Musk’s company Spacex is assessing its hardware to ensure the safety and certification of this spacecraft. Earlier, Endurance has completed three missions-Crew-3, Crew-5 and Crew-7. Steve stich, the manager of NASA commercial crew program, has said that a strong partnership between NASA and Spacex has been helped in implementing the upcoming mission plan.

In June last year, Williams and Wilmore arrived on ISS through Boeing’s Starliner Spacecraft on only eight days mission. However, the technical problem in Starlineer made it difficult for Williams and Wilmore to return. Starlineer Spacecraft was finding it difficult to reach ISS. The leak of helium from this spacecraft was a big difficulty. ISS was commanded by Astronaut Oleg Kononenko of Russia to Williams. Williams are monitoring various types of functioning and research as commander of ISS.

A few months ago, Williams shared his views on the delay in returning to Earth at a video press conference. He described ISS as a ‘happy place’. Williams said that due to his previous experience, adjustment about life in space is not difficult. The current situation is for better. Williams had admitted that her stay on ISS has some tension but she is focusing on the mission. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) had said that such challenges facing the NASA would be important for the country’s ambitious Gaganyaan mission. For this mission, ISRO recently started assembling Human Rated Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (HLVM3).
