Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are facing a space odyssey as they remain stuck aboard the ISS. Find out the reasons behind the delay in their return!
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are currently experiencing an unexpected extended stay in space due to issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. The return of the spacecraft has been postponed, and a spacewalk on July 2 is necessary for its possible return. The propulsion system problems of Boeing's Starliner capsule are the main culprits behind the delay in bringing the astronauts back to Earth from the International Space Station.
This unfortunate situation has brought back memories of past space missions like Kalpana Chawla's. Sunita Williams, an Indian-origin astronaut, finds herself stranded in space, reminiscent of the challenges faced by other space pioneers. While the mission teams are diligently reviewing data to ensure the safe return of Williams and Wilmore, the drama of their extended stay continues to captivate space enthusiasts worldwide.
Interestingly, Sunita Williams has been on the ISS for over two weeks, highlighting the resilience and adaptability of astronauts in prolonged space missions. The delay in returning Williams and Wilmore showcases the complexities and risks involved in space travel, emphasizing the importance of thorough mission preparations and safety measures in space exploration endeavors.
According to NASA, the return of the spacecraft is possible only after a July 2 spacewalk.
