Washington: A group of astronauts sent by the US on a special mission to the space station is stuck there due to a malfunction in the spacecraft. Sunita Williams of Indian origin is also included among the astronauts. NASA has made a big statement about how much hope is left for the return of Sunita Williams after the malfunction of the Starliner capsule. Let us tell you that the space agency NASA said that two of its astronauts will have to stay at the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time as they are solving problems encountered during their journey in Boeing's new space capsule.
NASA did not give a date for the astronauts' return on Friday and said they were safe. “We're in no rush to return,” said Steve Stich, NASA's commercial crew program manager. Veteran NASA test pilots Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore set off for the orbiting laboratory in Boeing's Starliner on June 5. Boeing's crewed flight test mission carrying Williams and Butch Wilmore took off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida after years of delays and failures.
Sunita was scheduled to return to Earth after 1 week
Williams and Wilmore were expected to stay in space for about a week, enough time to inspect the capsule, but problems with the capsule's propulsion system used to propel the spacecraft forced NASA and Boeing to postpone plans to return them to Earth several times. This has raised concerns about their safe return to Earth.
