In fact, after their arrival at the International Space Station ISS in June of the previous year, the two American astronauts should only have spent a week in space after their arrival at the International Space Station. It became around nine months. But now the two are back and overjoyed.
“Welcome at home,” said the control center, after the “crew Dragon” capsule of the Space Company of Tech billionaire Elon Musk with Williams and Wilmore ended up on board the coast of the US state of Florida in the sea. The scenes were broadcast live by the US Room Trip Authority NASA.
“It’s great”
“What a journey,” replied the American astronaut Nick Hague, who, like the Russian Kosmonaut Alexander Gorbunow, was also in the capsule and acted as the commander of the so -called “Crew 9”. “I see a capsule full of grin over both ears.” The landing was “beautiful,” said NASA manager Joel Montalbano. “It’s great that we have the” crew 9 “at home.”
About 17 hours earlier, Musk’s company had moored the capsule of the ISS. After the flight, she landed – delayed by parachutes – with a blue sky and bright sun in the sea near the city of Tallahassee. Shortly thereafter, dolphins swam around the capsule, which was finally transported by ship.
On the ship the four space drivers from the “Crew Dragon” were taken: First Hague, then Gorbunow, then Williams and eventually Wilmore – all smiling, waving and with their thumb up. Then they must be medically examined and flown back to Houston.
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 the spaceship “Starliner”, NASA decided for security reasons to have the spaceship developed by the American group to fall back to Earth. In September, Hague and Gorbunow only flew two space travelers in a “crew Dragon” to Het ISS – two places stayed free for Williams and Wilmore.
NASA -Baas: “We will celebrate for a while”
With Hague and Gorbunow it was planned from the start to stay on the space station for six months. According to NASA it was 286 days with Williams and Wilmore. The “Crew 9” invested a total of 900 hours in research on board the ISS and did 150 scientific experiments. Now the results are evaluated, but according to NASA manager Steve Stich, “for a while” is also celebrated.
