Plan to bring NASA Two Starlineer Astronauts Back to Earth, with the crew of his two space station, around 19-20 March, reduced them Long extended migration in class For about two weeks, the agency announced on Tuesday.
Already planned travel house was made possible by a temporary decision last week, to switch the next set of station flags-for 10-a separate crew dragon spacecraft, one that could be ready to start on March 12, with weather and other factors.

After five-to-half handover to bring 10 replacement of its crew for speed on the INS and Outs of the space station operation, Crew 9 Commander Nick Hag, Cosmonot Alexander Gorbunov, Stareliner Commander Barry “Buch” Wilmore and Co-Pillot Sunita Williams, who will return to Earth.
They will come home riding on the dragon of the crew who Hague and Gourbunov at station last SeptemberWith two vacant seats reserved for Wilmore and Williams.
Catching dates, Wilmor and Williams must have logged in the class for about 290 days. Launch on 5 June A mission was originally expected to last for a little longer than a week. The managers of Boeing and NASA wondered how long it took to complete Starlineer’s first pilot test flight.
As it was revealed, Starlineer, NASA was built as a part of the program, which escaped from the space station and to develop the ships of the independent commercial crew from the space station and to the astronauts, participated in the propulsion problems and proprietor leaks, which inspired weeks and then months tests and analysis.
Finally, NASA managers decided that Wilmore and Williams had a high risk for riding in Starlineer. Instead, he opted to the ship by remote control, without its crew, and Keep Wilmore and Williams riding at the station Until they could ride the house with Hague and Gorbunov until they were at the end of the crew 9 campaign.
NASA originally planned to bring all four back to Earth in February, but at the end of last year, Another month was addD for the mission to prepare crew 10 dragons for launch for mission.
President Trump convicted last month The overall mission extension of the Starlineer Crew on Biden administration, which he said “left” two astronauts in space. He said that he had asked SpaceX founder Elon Musk to “Go Gate” Wilmor and Williams. Musk also convicted Biden in a post on X.
But the Biden administration had no known impact on NASA’s decision to increase the Starlineer Crew’s mission, a plan that has been going on last September when the crew 9 spacecraft was launched with two vacant seats for two-man crew and wilmore and Williams.
And in any case, the crew 9 spacecraft, the Starlineer Crew’s ride home did not require “going” to the astronauts, docked at the space station for the last five months.

Crew 10 Commander Anne McClen, Pilot Nicole Aires, Japan’s Takua Onisi and Cosmonot Kiril Peskov have now planned to explode around EDT at around 7:48 pm on March 12.
The launch date depends on various factors, including the on-schedule launch of a commercial moon from a single pad on 26 February, and of course, weather.
