Nasas Two Astronauts Stuck On The International Space Station

NASA Astronauts Space Stay Extended Indefinitely Due To Starliner Issues

NASA's Two Astronauts Stuck On The International Space Station

NASA has given an update on two American astronauts who are stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) after their Boeing Starliner spacecraft experienced thruster failures and helium leaks.

Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore

The astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, were originally scheduled to return to Earth on March 28th. However, their return has been delayed indefinitely due to the issues with the Starliner spacecraft.

Engineers Examining Thruster Failures and Helium Leaks

Engineers are currently examining the Starliner spacecraft to determine the cause of the thruster failures and helium leaks. Once the cause of the issues has been determined, NASA will be able to develop a plan to fix the spacecraft and return the astronauts to Earth.

Astronauts In Good Spirits

According to NASA, the astronauts are in good spirits and are continuing to work with engineers to resolve the issues with the Starliner spacecraft.

The astronauts have been living on the ISS since April 20th, 2023. They were originally scheduled to return to Earth on March 28th, 2023.

The Starliner spacecraft is a commercial spacecraft that is being developed by Boeing. The spacecraft is designed to transport astronauts to and from the ISS.

The Starliner spacecraft has experienced a number of issues since it was first launched in December 2019. In August 2022, the spacecraft failed to reach the ISS due to a software issue.

The issues with the Starliner spacecraft have raised concerns about the safety of the spacecraft. NASA is currently working with Boeing to resolve the issues and ensure that the spacecraft is safe to fly.

The indefinite extension of the astronauts' stay on the ISS is a major setback for NASA. The agency is hoping to return the astronauts to Earth as soon as possible.
