The spacecraft carrying NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stranded in space for the past few months, is about to return.
The Boeing Starliner spacecraft took Sunita and Butch into space in the first week of June, after which it developed technical problems and the two astronauts could not return to Earth.
In such a situation, NASA is now bringing the Starliner back to Earth without any crew. Sunita and Butch will return in February next year, while the Starliner will take off from the International Space Center tonight and then reach Earth six hours later tomorrow morning. Scientists from all over the world are keeping an eye on this mission.
When will the Starliner return?
The Starliner carrying Sunita and Wilmore to space will leave the space center tomorrow morning at 3:30 am Indian time after midnight today.
It is expected to land back on Earth six hours later, that is, around 9:30 am tomorrow morning. It will land in Mexico.
According to a NASA blog post, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams have finished packing cargo aboard the Starliner and are now preparing the cabin for return.
They closed the Starliner’s hatch for the final time on Thursday afternoon, preparing the spacecraft for departure without a crew.
How can we watch the spacecraft landing live?
If you also want to watch the landing of Boeing’s Starliner live, then there are many platforms where it can be seen.
The landing of Boeing Starliner can be seen on NASA+, NASA’s mobile app, NASA’s official YouTube channel or NASA’s official website.
NASA has also provided a link for live streaming on its YouTube channel, where it has been told that its streaming will start at 3:15 pm. NASA flight director Ed Van Cise wrote on ‘X’, “My team and I worked with Butch and Suni this morning to finalize the configuration of the return cargo on Calypso.”
Let us tell you that even though the spacecraft will land in Mexico tomorrow morning, Sunita and Wilmore will have to return to Earth in February next year via SpaceX’s capsule.
