NASA is planning to bring in Two Starliner Astronauts He will return to Earth with two space station crews around March 19th and 20th. Long-term stay on track By about two weeks, the agency announced on Tuesday.
The trip, which was planned a little earlier, was made possible last week by the interim decision to switch the next station flyer (crew 10) to another crew’s dragon spacecraft. Weather and other factors are taken into consideration.

After handovers on days 5-7, we led the crew teenage alternatives to speeding up the in and out of space station operations. Sunita Williams rocks back to Earth.
They ride the Dragon of the crew carried back home Last September, The Hague and Golbunov went to the station.along with two empty seats reserved for Willmore and Williams.
Assuming the date continues, Wilmore and Williams have been recorded in orbit for nearly 290 days. Released June 5th Originally, the mission was expected to last for more than a week. That’s the time Boeing and NASA managers thought it would take to complete the Starliner’s first pilot test flight.
After all, Starliner was built as part of the NASA program to develop independent commercial crews to ferry astronauts between and among the space stations, encountering propulsion problems and propellant leaks; It prompted several weeks and months of testing and analysis.
Ultimately, the NASA manager decided that the risk was too high and was too expensive to have Willmore and Williams on the Starliner. Instead, they chose to take down the ship with remote control, without its crew. Let Willmore and Williams get on the train station Until they can return home with The Hague and Golbunov at the end of the Crew 9 expedition.
NASA originally planned to bring all four back to Earth in February, but at the end of last year, Another month was AdeD goes to mission for the work needed to prepare the crew 10 dragons for launch.
President Trump denounced him last month The overall mission expansion of Starliner’s crew on the Biden administration said it “abandoned” two astronauts in space. He told SpaceX founder Elon Musk that he asked Willmore and Williams to “Go Get.” Musk also denounced Biden in the X post.
However, the Biden administration was not known in NASA’s decision to extend the mission of Starliner’s crew. This is a plan that was introduced last September when the crew nine spaceships were launched with two crew members and two empty seats, Wilmore and Williams.
In any case, for the past five months, there has been no need to “get” the Crew 9 spacecraft, a crew member of Starliner’s crew.

Crew 10 Commander Anne McLain, Pilot Nicole Ayers, Takamichi of Japan’s Onishi and astronaut Kiril Peskov are scheduled to explode on March 12th at around 7:48pm.
The release date will depend on a variety of factors, including the schedule release of the Commercial Moonlander from the same pad on February 26th, and of course the weather.
