After a long period of time riding at the International Space Station, NASA’s Space X -9 astronauts will discuss their science mission during a post -flight news conference from the Johnson Space Center in Houston on Monday 3:30 pm. After the news conference, staff will be available for a limited number of individual interviews at 3:30 pm
NASA’s astronaut Nick Hague, Sunny Williams, and Boch Vilmor will answer questions about their time in space. Three members of the NASA staff and the Rosocomos Cosmoter Alexander Gorbonov returned to the ground on March 18. Gorbonov will not attend a news conference due to his travel schedule.

Hague and Gorbonov raised September 28, 2024 at 1:17 pm. The next day, he sailed at a forward -feeing port of the station’s harmony module. Williams and Vilmor launched Boeing’s star liner spacecraft and the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on June 5, 2024, as part of the agency’s Boeing crew flight test from the Space Launch Complex 41. The pair arrived at the space station on June 6. In August, NASA announced the return of the Star Liner to the land and integrated Vilmor and Williams as part of the space station 71/72 to return to the staff -9.
Williams and Vilmor traveled 121,347,491 miles during their mission, spent 286 days in space, and completed 4,576 orbit around the earth. Hague and Gorbonov traveled 72,553,920 miles during their mission, spent 171 days in space, and completed 2,736 orbit around the earth.
Hague, Williams, and Vilmor completed more than 900 hours of research, with more than 150 unique experiments. During its time in orbit, staff studied plant growth and development, tested stem cell technology to improve the results of patients on the ground, and participated in research to understand how the space environment affects material harassment. He also performed the space walk and collected samples from the exterior of the station, studying the survival of microorganisms in space. In addition, staff supported 30 Ham radio events with students around the world and tested the genetic -led genetic, which helped to affect the next generation of Explorer.
The NASA trade staff program has contributed with the US private industry to the International Space Station from the United States and its purpose for safe, reliable and cost -effective transportation. This partnership is changing the arc of human space history through access to more and more people, more science and more commercial opportunities to the orbit and the international space station of the Earth. Space Station is a Spring Board for NASA’s next great jump in space research, which includes future moon mission and eventually to Mars.
