(Cape Canawar) Two NASA astronauts have been blocked in space for several months.
The space agency announced on Tuesday that SpaceX will convert the capsule for the next astronaut to bring Pudch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the end of March or April in mid -March. This will reduce the stay at the International Space Station for at least two weeks, which reached eight months of identity last week.
Steve Stich, president of the NASA Business Group, recalled that “astronauts residing are unexpected challenges”.
Test pilots must have returned to Capsule in June Starline D Boeing must have been a week -long -air demonstration. But it was very difficult to reach the space station for capsule, NASA decided to empty it and promised the two astronauts to Spacex.
SpaceX then delayed to start changes in a new capsule, which needed additional product, which extended the work time of astronauts Wilmore and Williams.
NASA has selected its next team to fly in the old capsule, with more jobs for the new capsule, and the departure is now scheduled for March 12. This old capsule is already reserved for a private group waiting for starting this spring.
A private aircraft arranged by Houston Axium Space with astronauts from Poland, Hungary and India was replaced by astronauts, and this spring will still be launched in the spring.
NASA wants to come to a new crew before turning the old, in this case, Pudch Wilmore, Suni Williams and two people have been there since September. The new crew has two NASA astronauts, from Japan and Russia.
