SpaceX is trying again to start NAS’s crew 10 mission into the ISS: How to Watching

Four astronauts hope that Friday is the day on which they go to the international space station.

They were all ready to go on Wednesday after lying their space suits and raising their SpaceX spaceship on a Falcon 9 rocket in the Kennedy Space Center of NASA in Florida. But with less than 45 minutes in the countdown, SpaceX called off. Mission controllers could not solve a hydraulic problem with a clamp that holds the rocket before the start.

The weather along the start path looked doubtful on Thursday, so that Friday is the next chance for her to go to the ground.

The flight on Friday is a routine rotation of the crew on the space station, which, however, attracts additional attention, since it will finally enable the return to the earth of Sununi Williams and Butch Wilmore, two NASA astronauts, whose short -planned visit to the space station last June was unexpectedly to more than nine months (and at least two days after the flight on Wednesday).

Here you will find more information about the mission, which is called Crew-10, since it is 10. Such a mission is from SpaceX, Crew drives to and from the space station.

The four astronauts – two from NASA, one from Japan and one from Russia – are to start Eastern Time at 7:03 p.m.

NASA transfers the reporting on the start from 3 p.m., which you can see in the player above. The astronauts have put on their SpaceX flight suits and have now arrived in the launch pad.

Forecasts require a chance of more than 95 percent for cheap weather.

A backup option is available on Saturday at 6.41 p.m., but the weather will not be that promising. It will be windy with just a 50 percent chance of favorable conditions.

Anne McClain from NASA is the commander of Crew-10 and Nichole Ayers from NASA is the pilot. The other two crew members are Takuya Onishi from Jaxa, the Japanese space agency, and Kirill Peskov from Roscosmos, the Russian space agency.

This is the first space flight for Ms. Ayers and Mr. Peskov and the second room flight for Ms. McClain and Mr. Onishi.

Type of.

Not really.

The spaceship that Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore brings back has been docked at the space station since the end of September and could have returned to Earth at any time.

Ms. Williams and Mr. Wilmore started to the space station in June last year to build a test flight from Starliner, an astronaut capsule, under a Boeing contract. Due to drive problems, the NASA officials decided that Ms. Williams and Mr. Wilmore would not return to Earth in Starliner. At the beginning of September, the spaceship from the space station entered the atmosphere again and landed in New Mexico without any problems.

Just as an airline sets home after a cancellation after a flight after the latest passenger, NASA had to find seats on a journey home for Ms. Williams and Mr. Wilmore.

The next space travel was crew-9, which took off a few weeks after the course of the space station without someone on board. Two astronauts assigned for the flight were stopped, with two seats in the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule for Ms. Williams and Mr. Wilmore left behind on the return journey.

The crew 9 capsule could have brought the two astronauts back at any time, but that would have understaffed the space station and influenced the scientific experiments, the operation and maintenance.

The NASA and SpaceX could have overthrow the crew 10 mission earlier to start earlier, but the NASA officials decided that it is best for Ms. Williams and Mr. Wilmore to join the Space Station Crew and to keep the planned schedule for crew-10.

As soon as the crew-10 is reached to the space station, preparations for the departure of crew-9 on Saturday at around 11:30 p.m. Eastern.

The astronauts of Crew-9 and Crew-10 overlap at the space station for a few days. About four days after the start of Crew-10, Ms. Williams and Mr. Wilmore together with Nick Hague from NASA and Alexander Gorbunov, the two astronauts who go home with crew-9 ancient-to-9.

Your stay could be extended again if there are bad weather at the possible Splashdown locations off the coast of Florida.

In an interview last month, Michael Barbaro, the moderator of “The Daily”, asked the astronauts: “So if not, how exactly how exactly you describe this scenario in which you are in?”

“It’s a great question,” said Wilmore. “I would say it is work. It’s wonderful pleasure. It was fun. Sometimes it undoubtedly tried. But stranded? No. Stick? No, abandoned? NO.”

This was the third trip to space for Ms. Williams (59) and Mr. Wilmore (62) and you realize that it could be her last. “We’re going home,” said Ms. Williams. “And it makes you really enjoy every time you have up here.”
