CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Simply over a day after blasting off, a SpaceX crew capsule arrived on the Worldwide House Station on Sunday, delivering the replacements for NASA’s two stuck astronauts.
The 4 newcomers — representing the U.S., Japan and Russia — will spend the subsequent few days studying the station’s ins and outs from Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. Then the 2 will strap into their very own SpaceX capsule later this week to shut out an surprising prolonged mission that started final June.
Wilmore and Williams anticipated to be gone only a week once they launched on Boeing’s first astronaut flight. They hit the nine-month mark earlier this month.
The Boeing Starliner capsule encountered so many issues that NASA insisted it come again empty, leaving its check pilots behind to attend for a SpaceX raise.
Their experience arrived in late September with a downsized crew of two and two empty seats reserved for the leg again. However extra delays resulted when their replacements’ model new capsule wanted in depth battery repairs. An older capsule took its place, pushing up their return by a pair weeks to mid-March.
Climate allowing, the SpaceX capsule carrying Wilmore, Williams and two different astronauts will undock from the house station no sooner than Wednesday and splash down off Florida’s coast.
