Indian -origin American astronaut Sunita Williams started the spacewalk at 6.30 pm on Thursday evening at the International Space Station (ISS). During this time he was accompanied by Astronaut Buch Wilmore.

During this spacewalk lasting about 5.5 hours, both cleaned the outer part of the ISS and took samples for microorganisms. According to reports, it will reveal whether microorganisms are alive on ISS.

NASA said that if microorganisms are found there, the use will help to understand how they can survive in a space environment and how they breed. It will also be tried to know how far they can travel in space. It will also be checked whether these microorganisms will be able to live on planets like Moon and Mars.

Sunita spacewalks for the second time in 15 days This is the second spacewalk of Sunita Williams within 15 days. On 16 January, he had a spacewalk for 6 and a half hours with Astronaut Nick Hague. So far Sunita Williams has done 9 spacewalk. At the same time, this is the fifth spacewalk of Buch Wilmore.

Both of these astronauts were to be visible on 23 January but this day was extended for 7 days for their preparation.

Sunita Williams’s 8 -day journey changed in 10 months Sunita Williams has been in space for about 8 months. She reached ISS with Buch Wilmore on 5 June last year. He was to return after a week. The two went to the Test of the new Starlineer capsule of Boeing, but both of them stopped at ISS after a malfunction. Since then, both are stranded there.

NASA had informed Sunita and Buch Wilmore to bring back from the dragon spacecraft of Ilon Musk’s company SpaceX in February 2025. But now they may take more time to return. NASA said last month that he would have to wait for the end of March 2025. This date can also increase until the beginning of April.

According to NASA, SpaceX has to create a new capsule to bring Sunita Williams back from space. It will take time for SpaceX to make it, due to which the mission will be delayed. This work can be completed by the end of March. Only then can the estronauts trapped in space be brought back.

Ilon Musk will bring back Sunita Williams stuck in space The new US President Donald Trump has tasked the Space X’s CEO Ilon Musk to bring back Sunita Williams and his colleague Buch Wilmore, who was stuck in space. Both scientists have been stuck in space since June last year.

Trump wrote on social media- I have asked Musk to bring back those two ‘brave astronauts’. These have been left in space by the Biden administration. They have been waiting for several months at the space station. Musk will soon be engaged in this work. Hopefully everyone will be safe.

Musk said in response to this that we will do the same. It is terrible that the Biden administration has left him there for so long. Whereas NASA had included SpaceX several months ago to bring back both astronauts under its crew-mission.

Why was Sunita and Wilmore sent to the space station? Sunita and Bush went to Wilmore Boeing and NASA’s joint ‘Crew Flight Test Mission’. It was Sunita, a pilot of spacecraft. Bush Wilmore, who accompanied him, was the commander of this mission. Both were to come back to Earth after staying at the International Space Station (ISS) for 8 days.

At the time of launch, Boeing Defense, Space and Security President and CEO Ted Colbert described it as a magnificent beginning of the new era of Space Research. The main objective of this mission was to prove the ability to bring back the astronauts of the spacecraft to the space station.

Astronauts also had to do research and several experiments in 8 days at the space station. Sunita and Wilmore are the first Astronauts sent to Space Travel via Atlas-V rocket. During this mission, he was also manually flying the spacecraft. Many types of objectives related to flight tests were also to be completed.

How Sunita and Wilmore got stuck in space for so long? It had many problems since the launch of Starlineer Spacecraft. Due to these, the launch had failed several times before June 5. Even after the launch, there was news of problems in the spacecraft.

NASA reported that there is a small helium leak in the thruster of the service module of the spacecraft. A spacecraft consists of several thresters. With their help, spacecraft changes its way and speed. At the same time, there is pressure on the rocket due to helium gas. His structure remains strong, which helps the rocket to its flight.

After the launch, 5 heliums leaked in Spacecraft capsules in 25 days. 5 thrusters had stopped working. In addition, a propalent valve could not be completely discontinued. The crew present in the space and the managers of the mission sitting in Houston, USA could not fix it either.
