NASA astronauts return after an unplanned nine-month mission in space.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have finally returned to Earth after an unexpectedly extended stay in space.

Originally, the duo planned to spend just a week aboard the International Space Station (ISS) following their June launch on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. However, due to technical issues, their stay stretched to over nine months.

At last, Williams and Wilmore have splashed down safely, returning to Earth inside a SpaceX Dragon capsule. They departed the ISS at 1:05 a.m. ET on Tuesday, alongside NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. The four-person team, known as Crew-9, landed off the coast of Florida at approximately 5:57 p.m. ET. Read More.....

[ad_1] NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams safely returned to Earth on Tuesday (US local time), landing off the coast of Florida in a SpaceX capsule. Their return came after a nine-month stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS), which was extended due to delays with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, initially meant to end their mission after just one week. The ISS, located 254 miles (409 km) above Earth, has hosted astronauts from around the world for nearly 25 years. The station, primarily managed by the US and Russia, serves as a major hub for international scientific collaboration. Both Wilmore, 62, and Williams, 59, are Navy test pilots who later joined NASA. Wilmore was a high school and college football player in Tennessee, while Williams was a competitive swimmer and distance runner from Needham, Massachusetts. During their time in space, Wilmore missed much of his younger daughter’s senior year, while Williams stayed in touch with her family through internet calls from space. Living in space for months presents physical challenges, such as muscle and bone loss, fluid shifts that may cause kidney stones, vision problems, and balance issues upon returning to gravity. These effects are well understood and managed by NASA. Both astronauts were experienced ISS crew members and completed refresher training before launching. Williams served as the ISS commander for three months during their mission and held that position until earlier this month. What did they eat and how did they live for 9 months? On November 18 last year, The New York Post reported that Wilmore and Williams had been eating pizza, roast chicken, and shrimp cocktails while aboard the ISS. Their access to fresh produce was limited, as it was managed to maintain a nutritious diet during the extended mission. Food variety: The astronauts had meals such as breakfast cereal with powdered milk, pizza, roast chicken, shrimp cocktails, and tuna. NASA medics kept track of their calorie intake to ensure it met the astronauts’ needs. NASA image: A NASA-released photo from September 9 showed Wilmore and Williams eating, with some of these items visible in the image. Depletion of fresh food: Fresh fruits and vegetables were available at first but were gone after three months. From then on, they consumed packaged or freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. An insider stated, “There’s fresh fruit at first, but after three months, it goes away, and they get packaged or freeze-dried produce.” Food preparation: All meat and eggs were pre-cooked on Earth and required only reheating. Dehydrated foods like soups, stews, and casseroles were rehydrated with water from the ISS’s 530-gallon fresh water tank, which also recycles the astronauts’ urine and sweat into drinkable water. Weight loss concerns: Despite potential weight loss, the specialist clarified that the astronauts had enough food for the duration of the mission. “There’s plenty of food, even for an extended mission,” the specialist said. The ISS has about 3.8 pounds of food per astronaut per day, plus extra supplies for mission extensions. [ad_2] Source link

Made By Astronauts For Astronauts, Boeing Starliner To Return Without Them

The Boeing Starliner on which Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams flew to the International Space Station (ISS) on June 5 was touted as a space capsule made by astronauts for astronauts but, much to the embarrassment of Boeing, is now set to return without any human spacefarers. The return journey, in autonomous mode, is slated for September 6 and the Starliner is expected to land about six hours after it undocks.

The Starliner, whose development was plagued by delays, was on its first crewed test flight, carrying Sunita Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore for what was meant to be an eight-day mission. The two astronauts have been at the International Space Station since June 6 and their stay kept getting extended because of propulsion issues on the Starliner. NASA announced on August 24 that the astronauts would return to Earth in February 2025 and the Boeing spacecraft would come back without its crew.

The uncrewed return allows NASA and Boeing to continue gathering testing data on the Starliner during its flight home while also allowing it not to accept more risk than is necessary for its crew. NASA officials said the decision was "unanimous" on its part, while Boeing asserted it could return the Starliner both with or without crew.

The space agency has confirmed that the decision to get the spacecraft to return without crew was taken at a "tense" meeting between NASA and Boeing officials.

Explaining the decision, NASA chief Senator Bill Nelson, who is also a former astronaut, said, "Spaceflight is risky, even at its safest and most routine. A test flight, by nature, is neither safe nor routine.

The decision to keep Butch and Suni (Sunita Williams) aboard the International Space Station and bring Boeing's Starliner home without crew is the result of our commitment to safety - our core value and our North Star."

Boeing, on its part, said it remains confident in the Starliner spacecraft and its ability to return safely with crew. "We continue to support NASA's requests for additional testing, data, analysis and reviews to affirm the spacecraft's safe undocking and landing capabilities. Our confidence is based on this abundance of valuable testing from Boeing and NASA. The testing has confirmed that 27 of 28 RCS (reaction control system) thrusters are healthy and back to full operational capability," the company said in a statement. "Starliner's propulsion system also maintains redundancy and the helium levels remain stable. The data also supports root cause assessments for the helium and thruster issues and flight rationale for Starliner and its crew's return to Earth," it added.

But NASA, having burnt its fingers after the twin accidents of the Challenger and Columbia space shuttles, did not want to take any risks.

In a statement, NASA said the "uncertainty and lack of expert concurrence does not meet the agency's safety and performance requirements for human spaceflight".

Experts said the space capsule which Indian origin astronaut Sunita Williams had piloted to the International Space Station (ISS) is the most modern crew module and has been designed to ensure that astronauts who fly in it are safe and comfortable. Ms Williams herself has her imprint on almost all aspects of the spacecraft as she has been involved in its making for a long time.

12095Khz 0358 25 AUG 2024 - BBC (UNITED KINGDOM) in ENGLISH from TALATA VOLONONDRY. SINPO = 55545. English, dead carrier s/on @0358z then ID@0359z pips and Newsroom preview. @0401z World News anchored by Neil Nunes. The Israeli military says its warplanes are hitting Hezbollah targets in Lebanon after detecting moves to fire missiles and rockets into Israel. Israel said Lebanese civilians had been warned to immediately leave areas where Hezbollah, an Iran-backed Shia Muslim group, was operating. Shortly afterwards, Hezbollah said it had launched a large-scale drone attack on Israel in response to last month's killing of the group's senior military commander. Across northern Israel sirens warning of incoming rockets were heard sounding early on Sunday. There were no immediate reports of any injuries. German police have arrested a man suspected of killing three people and injuring another eight in Friday's knife attack in the western city of Solingen.
