NASA’s Space X crew -9 completed the agency’s ninth trading mission at the International Space Station on Tuesday, spreading down the Space X -Dragon spacecraft on the coast of the Florida city of Florida in the United States.
NASA’s astronaut Nick Hague, Sunny Williams, and Boch Vilmor, and Roskomos Casmos, Alexander Gorbonov, returned to EDT at 5:57 pm. Teams aboard the Space X recovery ships recovered the spacecraft and its crew. After returning to the coast, the staff will fly for NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston and re -get with his family.
“We are very happy to visit the house of Sunni, Booch, Nick, and Alexander after a mission of important science, technology, and the maintenance of the main space station,” said Janet Petro, acting NASA. “At the behest of President Trump, NASA and Space X worked a month ago to draw the schedule, and our teams embraced the latest, and somewhat unique, mission plan to get their staff from home.
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. The four staff traveled to 1:05 pm on Tuesday.
Williams and Vilmor traveled 121,347,491 miles during their mission, spent 286 days in the place, 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. The staff -9 mission was the first space light for Gorbonov. Hague has logged into the space 374 days compared to his two missions, Williams logged in to 608 days in his three flights, and Vilmor logged into space 464 days in his three flights.
Throughout his mission, staff -9 participated in numerous demonstrations of science and recovery activities and technology. Williams organized two space walks, which joined the Hague for one another with Vilmor, removed the radio frequency group antenna assembly from the station’s traces, collecting samples from the outer surface of the station for analysis, the X -ray telescope to cover light filters, and a lot of damaged areas. Williams has now named the total time record of space walking by a female astronaut, which is 62 hours and 6 minutes out of the station, and is the fourth on the list of timely space walks.
US staff members have held more than 150 unique scientific experiments and technology, with more than 900 hours of research. This study also includes plant growth and quality as well as blood diseases, autoimmune disorders and stem cell technology capacity to cope with cancer. They also tested the lighting system to help the astronauts maintain circidine locks, the first satellite of wood for deployment, and sample from the outer part of the space station to study whether microorganisms can survive in space.
The crew was the fourth flight of the dragon spacecraft called the Mission Freedom. Earlier, he also supported NASA’s Space X Staff -4, Exxim Mission 2, and Exxon Mission 3. The spacecraft will return to Florida for inspection and processing at the Cape Canvirial Space Force station at the Force Station, where teams will inspect Dragon, analyze data on its performance, and begin processing for its next flight.
The staff -9 flight is part of NASA’s commercial staff program, and its return to Earth is on the heels of NASA’s Space X -10 launch, which put a post on the station on March 16, which launched another long -term science campaign.
The target of NASA’s trading staff program is safe, reliable and cost -effective transport to go and go into the space station and to orbit. The program provides extra time for research and has increased the opportunity to discover the micrograde test B of humanity for search, which includes helping NASA in the preparation of the human search for the moon and Mars.
