Sunita Williams on ISS will not retune earth before 26th June with Boeing Starliner

Sunita Williams ISS : A team of astronauts is always stationed at the International Space Station (ISS) and stays there to carry out space experiments. On June 5, Indian-origin American astronaut Sunita Williams reached space. Butch Wilmore also went with her. Both of them flew in the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Now the American space agency NASA has said that the Starliner spacecraft is getting delayed in returning to Earth. What is the reason for this, let’s know.

Leaks appeared in the spacecraft after reaching the ISS

On June 5, Starliner took off for the ISS and reached there the next day. Whenever a spacecraft reaches the ISS, it docks with it and then returns to Earth with the astronauts after a certain time. However, while reaching the ISS, Starliner has faced problems with helium leaks and thrusters four times.

Reached ISS for the first time with astronauts

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has flown many flights, but this is the first time it has reached the ISS with astronauts. In its very first mission, it is facing technical flaws, which are being investigated.
This is the reason why the return of Sunita Williams and her partner has been delayed.

When will I be able to return?

NASA has said that a spacewalk by Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore is already scheduled, which will take place on June 24. Both astronauts will be able to return to Earth by June 26. The US space agency does not want to take any risk. It will give permission to Starliner to return to Earth only when the technical problems are fixed.

Starliner can also fly a 6-month mission

Starliner has been designed in such a way that in future it can fly missions for 6 months. The current mission is designed for a maximum of 45 days. This means that if the return is not possible even on June 26, NASA will have a few more days.
