The Falcon 9 SPACEX missile was stopped at 7.03 pm Easter (11.03 pm GMT) in Florida, carrying the four astronauts who will take over from Boot Wilmor and Sony Williams, who Stuck On the tropical laboratory since June.
NASA wants to overlap between the two energies so that Wilmor and Williams can fill the new arrivals on the events on the International Space Station. This would put them in its path to decipher next week Florida The coast, if the weather allows.
The duo will be accompanied by astronauts who flew on the rescue mission Spacex Last September, along with two empty seats dedicated to Lilmur and Williams in the background of return.
Rockets towards orbit from NASA Kennedy space Center, the latest crew of Ann Maccin from NASA and Nicole Aires, both of them are military pilots; Japan Takoya Ounishi and Russia Kirill Peskov, both of which are former airlines. They will spend the next six months at the space station, and consider normal work, after Willmore and Williams are free.
As a pilot of Boeing’s new Starliner, a week -old STARLINER is expected to disappear for a week or so when they were launched from Cape Canaveral on June 5. A series of helium leaks and failure failure is a young man for their journey to the space station, which led to months of investigation by Nassa And Boeing is the best way to move forward.
Ultimately, its ruling is unsafe, NASA ordered an empty return last September and transferred Wilmur and Williams to a Spacex The flight scheduled again in February.
Their return was more late when the new spacex capsule needed wide battery repairs before launching its alternatives. To provide a few weeks, SpaceX turned into a used capsule, and moved to the homeland and Williams to mid -March.
It has already acquired the world’s attention, their long mission has taken an unexpected development when Donald Trump and Spacex Elusk did Earlier this year pledged To accelerate the return of astronauts and blame the previous administration for stopping it.
Willore and Williams have repeatedly confirmed that they have supported the decisions made by NASA since last summer.
“We came ready to stay for a long time, although we planned to stay short,” Wilmor said, adding that he did not believe that NASA’s decision to keep them on ISS was affected by politics.
He said: “This is what the human space program is around in your human nation,” and it plans for unknown and unexpected emergencies. And we did it. “
The two helped keep the station to run – fix a broken toilet, watering plants and conduct experiments – and even go out silver. With nine indifference, Williams set a new record for women: most of the time the space spends over the course of a profession.
The hydraulic case was delayed at the last minute of the initial launch attempt on Wednesday. Anxiety arose on one of the arms, the argument, on the structure of supporting the missile missile that needs to be tilted immediately before taking off. Spacex later wiped the Hydraualks system for the arm, removing the besieged air.
They said that the extended residence of the duo was the most difficult for their families – Willmur’s wife, two daughters, Williams and his mother. Besides reunification with them, Willmur, a sheikh in the church, is looking forward to returning to the face face to face, and Williams cannot wait to walk on two of her recovery.
“We appreciate all love and support from everyone,” Williams said in an interview earlier this week. This task drew little attention. There are goods and bad for that. But I think the good part is more and more people interested in what we do “with space exploration.
