Four astronauts bounced on Friday, on their way to the International Space Station.
NASA Ann McLean, Nicole Aires, Japanese astronaut Takoya Unishi and Russian astronauts Kirill Peskov, at 7:03 pm Eastern time from the Kennedy Space Center of NASA, wandered around
This task is a testament to what humans can achieve when we work together. Go Crew-10, “Aires Pradio controlled the mission in the last minutes of smooth countdown.
The journey, a task known as Crew-10, was part of NASA’s regular crew to and from space station. But it attracted greater attention than usual because it means that NASA’s Sony Williams and Poch spacecraft finally closed on their long -awaited journey to Earth.
William and Wilmmore were in the spotlight for several months due to the unusual circumstances of their orbit. The couple was expected to stay at the space station for a week only as part of the first test trips tested in the Boeing spacecraft in the two nomains in June, but the problems of the car forced them to stay in the outpost.
The new crew of Williams, Wilmmore and two others-NASA astronaut Nick The Hague and Russian astronauts Alexander Gorbonov-who conclude about six months at the space station.
Crew-10 astronauts rode to a orbit over the Spacex Falcon 9.
“It was an honor to fly with you this evening,” and the director of the SpaceX trip responded to the crew in Orbit. “We wish you success in your journey and give the crew 9 the best we have.”
Aerial astronauts will now spend more than 28 hours now on a low -Earth orbit at the space station. They are expected to reach the outstanding outpost of Saturday. After that, the outgoing staff can leave early on Wednesday, March 19, According to Nasa.
The launch attempt this week has been added to the drama of the situation. It was turned off on Wednesday, with a little more than 40 minutes surviving the countdown hour, due to a problem with a ground systems in the launch panel. The four astronauts have already been linked inside the dragon capsule when the decision was made.
The Crew-10 group consists of a mixture of old and heavy warriors. McLean and UNICHE will visit the space station for the second time, while Airez and Peskov on board the first space aircraft. All four astronauts participate in a shared background as two signs.
Their arrival at the space station will start in the delivery period, which usually lasts a few days to allow the new crew members to train and speed in scientific experiments, maintenance work and other projects at the station.
After that, Williams, Wilmmore Haj and Jourbunov will travel home at the Hague and Gorbunov capsule to the space station in September. Two seats were kept empty so that their colleagues could return to the ground later.
The Starliner spacecraft, which Williams and Wilmmore, faced many issues in June, where it was installed with the orbit laboratory. After months of investigation and tests, NASA decided to return the Starlener craft to the ground without anyone on board and the pioneer is waiting for a flight on a SpaceX instead.
Their long residence has become unexpected in the low -Earth orbit of a political point of discussion. SPACEX Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have provided unpredictable allegations that the Biden administration had returned the trip to Earth for political reasons. Trump also recently said he cost musk by bringing astronauts to the house. However, NASA planned to use a SpaceX for the return trip since its announcement August.
