SpaceX launches astronauts for long-awaited International Space Station crew swap

SpaceX successfully launched four people in space on Friday, which launched a mission that allowed the international space station to return to Earth after nine months after the spacecraft of adequate crew members.

This mission, known as Cruo -10, will be seen with SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft Dock in the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday night. The new innovators will overlap with existing crews for some time before returning to our planet by Williams and Wilmore (including two others). It can happen immediately after the weather permits, March 19.

Launches at SpaceX Cruo ISS have become routine, but the mission is expected heated because Williams and Wilmore reached the station in the first place – and because SpaceX CEO Elon Musk blames them to be prolonged on former President Joe Biden.

The pair were part of the first crew launch of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft last June. The Mission of Boeing was supposed to be an important milestone in search of Boeing to compete with SpaceX for these types of crew launches for ISS.

Williams and Wilmore were supposed to do with the Starliner’s ISS before returning to Earth. The spacecraft, however, faced leaks and thruster problems, which delayed the starliner from docking with ISS.

Starliner finally joined the station and was able to climb the innovators. However Boeing and NASA spent a few weeks by performing tests and analyzes before them Decided in August To bring the starliner back to the world empty.

NASA and SpaceX agreed to bring astronauts home to ISS, Kru -9 at the next crew mission. They pushed two innovators from the flight for the return of Williams and Wilmore. A return flight was going on in February 2025; According to NASA, an earlier flight had dropped the ISS.

Although Williams and Wilmore were on the ISS, Kasturi helped Donald Trump to be elected for the second time and started it Through the Federal Government through its official skill departmentThe Musk began to say – both in x and interviewing – that he Has been proposed to bring back the innovators Earlier, Biden rejected for political reasons.

Kasturi has not provided any evidence to support this claim. Under Biden contains the former administrator and sub -administrator of NASA Both D No offer from the musk makes it at the Aerospace Agency’s headquarters.
