Today, Tuesday, the astronaut left the Space Station in a capsule of SpaceX on a long -awaited trip to return to Earth nine months after the change of a test task schedule that was supposed to last for about a week due to breakdowns in their vehicle Starlaner.
Boch Wilmor and his colleague Sony Williams, two veteran astronauts in the American Aviation and Space Administration (NASA), set out inside the vehicle Crow Dragon with other astronauts from the tropical laboratory on a 17 -hour trip to Earth.
Her return is the end of an exceptional and long task that included technical problems, including breakdowns in the spacecraft.
The two pioneers went to space as the first Starlaner vehicle crew in June on a trial mission that was expected to last eight days, but problems in the vehicle’s payment system led to successive delays in their return to Earth, which prompted NASA last year to make a decision to return them on the SpaceX vehicle this year as part of the management program to rotate the crews.
The two pioneers will spend 286 days in space as soon as they land on Earth, which is longer than the average period of the six -month -old space station tasks.
