Sunita Williams Message Boeing's spacecraft Starliner (Boeing Starliner Landed) carrying NASA astronauts Roin Williams (Sunita Williams) and Barry Wilmore into space has returned to Earth on Saturday. This spacecraft left the International Space Station on Friday. A statement from nominee Williams has also come out.
Starliner landed on Earth
Boeing said on Saturday that the deorbit pole of the empty Starliner spacecraft was completed and the phase from deorbit burn to landing was 44 minutes. Starliner landed at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.
What did Sunita Williams say
Before the unmanned Starliner spacecraft returned to Earth, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore both called flight controllers and gave emotional messages to the team. They thanked them for their cooperation. Sunita further said in the radio message, "Now the time has come for you guys to bring Calypso back home. We are with you and you bring it back to Earth soon", referring to the spacecraft's nickname.
Why was Sunita's return delayed
- Let us tell you that Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams flew to space on June 5 on a Starliner from Cape Canaveral, Florida, which reached the orbiting International Space Station on June 6. It was expected that both would return on the same flight in 8 days.
- When the Starliner approached the orbiting laboratory, NASA and Boeing identified a helium leak and problems were also found in the spacecraft's reaction control thrusters. Due to this, the return of both was delayed.
- For the safety of the astronauts, NASA announced on August 24 that the Starliner would return to Earth from the station without a crew.
When will Sunita Williams come back
Sunita Willms' eight-day mission has now turned into eight months. However, Sunita will remain busy in space with Barry Wilmore. Both will help in repair work in the space station. Now NASA has also decided the time to bring them back. Both will be brought back in a new spacecraft in February 2025.
