Four astronauts of NASA’s crew -10 mission left the International Space Station (ISS) in a SpaceX Dragon Capsule on Friday, back back to the ear on an 18 -hour trip.
American astronaut Anne McClane and Nicole Aeries, Japan’s Takua Onashi, and Russian Cosmonott Kiril Peskov are set to exit the coast of California in the Pacific Ocean at 3.33 pm on Saturday at UTC/GMT.
The crew’s return wraps NASA’s 10th commercial crew rotation.
For the space agency, four astronauts conducted more than 200 “significant and time-sensitive research” in 146 days, which includes study on plant growth and cell behavior in microgravity.
Crew -10 replaced stranded astronauts
Crew -10 mission was launched on 14 March instead of Crew -9, including members including Barry “Buch” Wilmor and Sunita “Sun” Williams.
Wilmore and Williams were stranded for nine months in the ISS after their Boeing Starlineer Capsules developed the Pranology issues.
Finally, a SpaceX capsule owned by billionaire Elon Musk brought homes of the beach astronauts.
Wilmore retired with NASA 25 years later this week, the announcement by the space agency.
Last week, American astronaut Zenna Cardman and Mike Finke, Japan’s Kimia UE and Russian Cosmonott Oleg Platonov boarded the ISS for a six -month mission at the ISS.
