Look live while the Starliner astronauts finally return home after being in space for 9 months

Two NASA astronauts finally go home after having spent more than nine months on board the International Space Station (ISS) for a weekly mission.

The NASA's SpaceX crew 9 mission will leave the ISS on Tuesday at 1:05 a.m. The crew comprises the NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, which on June 5, 2024 on board Boeing Starliner CST-100 spaceship in the ISS-ISS-STACE-100 room vehicles to the ISS-ISS-SpaceCRAFT for the earth, which Williams and Wil. SpaceX-dragon-crew spaid dumm to get back, as climaxed.

The live report on the closure of the dragon snack begins on Monday at 10:45 p.m. ET on the NASA website and NASA+. A live current from Dragon's Docking procedure begins on Tuesday at 12.45 p.m. ET, and the splashdown of the crew vehicle is expected around 5:57 p.m. NASA will resume live reporting on Dragons Return at 4.45 p.m. ET, and a press conference takes place at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Starliner saga has attracted a lot of attention in recent months, with questions about whether the crew was left in space or not. Williams and Wilmore were the first crew to fly on board Boeing's Starliner spaceship. For the crewed test flight, things did not go smoothly, five of the engines of the spacecraft failed on the way to the ISS, and Starliner returned home.

NASA had to come up with an elaborate plan to fly back to earth. On September 28, 2024, NASA started its crew 9 mission with two astronauts instead of four (the two were the NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos Cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov), which were docked at the ISS the following day. The two empty seats were reserved for Williams and Wilmore, who were supposed to return next to the crew 9 astronauts in February.

However, the plan had some problems because the technical problems delayed the start of the SpaceX crew 10 mission of the NASA and postponed the crew handover. This meant that crew-9, alongside Williams and Wilmore, could only leave the ISS in April on the space station on the space station. NASA finally changed the SpaceX crew and started her crew 10 mission on March 12 to bring the two Starliner astronauts back about two weeks earlier.

The decision may have been made by President Donald Trump's trick to use the emergency of the two astronauts in his favor. Shortly after taking office, Trump claimed that he was working on a rescue mission for the two astronauts. Trump announced that he had asked SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk to “get the two courageous astronauts that the bidges left practically in space,” he wrote about social of truth.

However, the astronauts were not left in space, nor did they ever need a rescue mission. The organization of crew time plans in space can be complicated and expensive, which is why the Starliner crew had to wait a little longer before they could jump onto the earth on a spaceship that drove to the ground. Nevertheless, we will be happy to see the two astronauts at home after an unexpectedly long time in space.
