Two NASA astronauts who were launched on a short mission to the International Space Station last year have turned into a 9 -month marathon who finally knew when they will return to the house.
Boeing Starlener’s astronauts, who have been launched in the air vehicle test on June 5, has lived on the International Space Station (ISS) since then after the capsule returned to Earth without them. On Friday (7 March), NASA has wiped the relief crew to launch it on Spacex Dragon next week, putting the way for their long -awaited return to the ground.
NASA Poach Space Pioneers are expected to be a 10 -day space on the International Space Station, but the issues made on the spacecraft in Starlener forced the agency to suspend them while making the problem on Earth. Ultimately, NASA decided to return Starlener without its crew, leaving Williams and Wilmmour at the International Space Station for a long-term mission, which-finally-has an end on the horizon. NASA officials said on Friday that astronauts would return to Earth on March 16.
Starliner left the space station without wandering last September. A few weeks later, NASA astronaut Nick The Hague and Rossksermos, Alexander Gorbonov, was launched at the Spacex Crew-9 mission with two seats on the Dragon spacecraft that was dedicated to Lilims and Wilmmore during the return trip, which was originally scheduled for the month of February. The four will return together on March 16.
“When we looked at the situation at the time, we had a crew of 9 in front of us. It was logical to take this opportunity to bring Crew-9 with only two seats and fill Butch and Suni, and to do the rest of the long-term task,” explained by the ISS director on Friday while briefing a summary of the next cancer.
This trip, called Crew-10, will launch four astronauts to the International Space Station on March 12 from the Kennedy Space Center in NASA in Florida on a mission that is expected to last for about six months. This launch has gained additional attention in the media, as Crew-10 will allow ISS to leave Crew-9, and the return of astronauts bygone Williams and Wilmore.

Crew-10 leads and experimented by NASA Ann McLean and Nicole Aires, respectively. The mission specialists will join the Takoya UNIchi and Rosskosmos spacecraft for Kirill Peskov spacecraft. It was originally scheduled to fly the Quartet’s dragon on a new crew built by Spacex for the mission.
However, the delays in its construction due to the battery problems led to the first delaying NASA to “late March”, then ultimately to swap the spacecraft in the mission into a dragon that was already created. Now, instead of the shiny and new dragon that has not yet been called, the Crew-10 will be launched on the veteran capsule phase, a spacecraft that has already transferred three sets from NASA to the space station and return.
Mubadaph spacecraft followed public statements made by President Donald Trump and CEO of Spacex Elusk repeat “astronauts” accounts on the Internet, although NASA says that discussions to convert the 10 -crew of the 10 crew were taking place inside the space agency before the issue slips into political lights.
Steve Shech, director of the NASA’s commercial crew program, said he is “very typical” for a new spacecraft for the delay experience during the manufacturing process, during the Friday call on Friday.
“We are always looking and improving the statement,” said Stitch. “We started looking at this schedule, and at that time, early this year, in late January, when we finally decided to move to [Endurance]”
The endurance arrived in KSC earlier this week to perform the final exit operations before it was attached to the Falcon 9 missile inside the Spacex in Complex-39A. Crew-10 astronauts arrived at the space port on Friday aboard the NASA Goldtrim plane, where MacLean addressed the media.
Malikin said that she and her colleagues supervise that she is able to continue international partnerships that make the space station possible, and is reflected on the contributions of the space station in science. She referred to the next fiftieth anniversary of the mission of Apollo Soyuz, which brought the pioneers of NASA and astronauts in the Soviet Union in space for the first time in 1975.
“If you want to go quickly, you go alone, but if you want to go away, you are going together,” McLein said, explaining that Apollo Soyuz laid the foundation when it will eventually lead to ISS.
This will be the second time for Clean in space. Its first mission coincided with the first tested trip that is not available for Dragon Crew Dragon in Spacex in 2019 – a fact that she reflected in its observations, noting the quick pace for the advancement of the spacecraft. She said, “This is incredible for me.” Onishi is also launched for the second time to the International Space Station, the first to occur on the Soyuz missile for ISS Experedits 48/49 in 2016. For Ayers and Peskov, this will be the first time in space.
Crew-10 is scheduled to be launched at 7:48 pm EST (2348 GMT) on March 12. The endurance will take about 14 hours to catch the International Space Station, with a fusion expecting a day at about 10 am EST (1400 GMT).
Usually, the next crews overlap and go to ISS by about a week or so. This provides the pioneers of the muds-especially the bulletins for the first time-a period of permissibility to get used to the minor gravity, while the outgoing crew gives them the various responsibilities that he will assume. Hand delivery 10, however, will be much faster.
With their arrival on March 13, Crew-10 members will not interfere with Crew-9 by about three days. With the exception of the delay in the launch and arrival of the Crew-10, freedom is scheduled to explode from the space station on March 16 to return the astronauts 9 crew to Earth.

Malikin said on Friday: “It takes a complete crew for the space station’s crew constantly, whether for science or for maintenance, and this is the work that we look forward to when we reach the space station.” The commander of the 10th crew said that her team was in “continuous contacts with Crew-9”, praising the research and maintenance of the station that the current crew carried out during their stay.
“They conducted science and maintenance, and they were keeping the station’s operation, and we are ready for the height of five of them and returning them home in the coming weeks.”
With the launch of the Crew-10 and Crew-9 approaching their time in a low-Earth orbit, the transition from Expendion 72 to Expendion 73 began on Friday.
In changing the driving ceremony held on the station, Williams (the current commander of the station) acknowledged the space station key to the Alexei Ovchaneen spacecry, although he will not be in driving for a long time. Once Crew-10 arrives, this address will be transferred to Onishi, which will maintain the role within a six-month period in the tropical laboratory.
