American astronauts who have been “stranded” in orbit for nine months are finally scheduled for their journey home. After an unexpectedly extended stay on the International Space Station, the space odyssey of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams appears to be coming to an end.

Their mission, which was originally planned to last just eight days, was prolonged due to safety issues surrounding the Boeing Starliner capsule, which was supposed to bring them back. As a result, the astronauts were integrated into the ISS crew, with Williams taking over as station commander in September. The SpaceX Dragon capsule, which will return them, has been attached to the station since September.

The latest delay, according to a NASA spokesperson, was caused by an issue with the hydraulic system controlling one of the two clamps that hold the rocket on the launch pad. The mission is now scheduled for Friday evening, subject to weather conditions.

The new crew heading to the ISS includes NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nicole Ayers, Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. After their arrival at the station, a handover period will take place, after which Wilmore, Williams, and the rest of the crew will return to Earth.

Astronauts undergo a rigorous selection process and are trained in patience, resilience, and adaptability, the agency stated: “Astronauts do not view their work as a personal adventure. It is something for humanity.”

This situation highlighted NASA’s dependence on SpaceX and negatively impacted Boeing’s ambitions in the space sector. Experts believe that having two American suppliers for space stations would be beneficial for competition. Despite the delays, NASA continues to focus on ensuring the safety and success of space missions.
