Sunita Williams News: Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams and Butch Willmore, who went to space with her, have not yet returned to Earth. Both astronauts are trapped in the Starliner spacecraft docked with the International Space Station. Recently their troubles increased further when an old satellite broke down causing debris It spread all around the space and the possibility of collision with ISS and Starliner increased. After this Sunita and her companion had to take help in Starliner.

Although he survived this danger, he is unable to return to Earth due to a malfunction in the Starliner spacecraft. Both the astronauts were to return to Earth on June 18.

There was a problem with Starliner from the beginning

Starliner spacecraft has been developed by Boeing. The company was working on human spacecraft for a long time. The Starliner mission was postponed several times. When it was finally launched, it faced the problem of helium leaking after reaching the space station. The mission, which was meant to last for 8 days, is now stuck in space.

The date is moving forward again and again

Earlier it was thought that the Starliner spacecraft would return to Earth by June 18. This date was shifted to June 26. Now NASA has said that Starliner will return to Earth this month. She wants to monitor problems in the propulsion system.

Helium is very important for any spacecraft. It is used to push propellants to the thrusters. If gas leaks, the thrusters may not function properly. The good thing is that the spacecraft can remain in space for 45 days, giving the crew members time to fix the problems encountered in the spacecraft.
