NASA explained that it is supposed to land with another American astronaut and a Russian astronaut off the Florida coast on Tuesday at ten in the evening GMT.
Task
Willore Williams, an experienced astronaut in NASA, had set out in June to the space station on an eight -day mission, but their stay due to breakdowns monitored in the “Starlaner” vehicle that transported them.
NASA preferred to return the vehicle made by “Boeing”, empty as a precautionary measure, and to assign the task of returning them to “Spice X”.
The record number
Despite the length of their stay in space, Boot Willur and Sony Williams did not go beyond the record set by American astronaut Frank Rubio.
The latter spent 371 days at the International Space Station in 2023, instead of the six months that he was planned at first, due to the leakage of a cooling liquid in the Russian spacecraft, which was scheduled to be used on the return trip.
Russian Valery Poliakov, who spent 437 days in a row at the previous space station “Mir” during the 1994-1995 stage, still holds the absolute record for the longest individual stay in space.
