Arrival expected around 11 p.m.
Around 11 p.m., Central European period, the capsule of the “Crew 9” is to land in the sea of the US state of Florida. Williams and Wilmore came to the ISS at the beginning of June and should only stay there for about a week. Due to technical problems with his “Starliner” spaceship, NASA decided to develop the spaceship by the American group to fly back to Earth for safety reasons.
In September, with Hague and Gorbunow, only two instead of the originally planned four space drivers flew to the ISS in a “Crew Dragon” from the SpaceX Space Company SpaceX-Two Places for free for Williams and Wilmore. The 59-year-old Williams and her 62-year-old colleague Wilmore had previously been in space several times and are considered experienced astronauts. With Hague and Gorbunow it was planned from the start to stay on the space station for six months.
