Sunita Williams 3rd Space Mission: Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams is going to go on a space trip for the third time. Tonight she will fly to space in Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Her spacecraft will take off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 10 pm tonight. Let us tell you that under the joint mission of space agency NASA and aircraft manufacturer Boeing, Sunita Williams was to go on a space trip with her partner Butch Wilmore on May 7, but it was not possible due to some problems at that time.
The mission was postponed on May 7
According to the information, it was to be launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 8:04 am on May 7. But at the last moment, the mission was postponed due to a problem in the oxygen relief valve of the rocket. Butch Wilmore is also going with Sunita in this journey. The objective of this 10-day mission is to take humans to the International Space Station and then bring them back.
Regarding the mission, the US space agency NASA said that if all goes well, the Starliner will dock at the International Space Station (ISS), after which Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will stay at the station for about a week with their colleagues to test the Starliner spacecraft and its subsystems. Let us tell you that if this mission is successful in the coming time, it will be considered a big step in the field of space. If this mission is successful, for the first time in history, America will have 2 spacecraft to send astronauts into space. Currently, America only has the Dragon spacecraft of Elon Musk's company SpaceX.
Sunita Williams has been to space twice
Let us tell you that Sunita Williams has already traveled to space twice. She had earlier traveled to space in 2006 and 2012. After 12 years, she is going to travel to space for the third time. According to NASA, Sunita has spent a total of 322 days in space in two missions. She has also done 7 spacewalks of a total of 50 hours and 40 minutes. Butch Wilmore has spent 178 days in space in two missions.
Also shared the experience of space travel
Sunita Williams also shared her experiences with people after her space travel. She told that in space, passengers keep floating in the air all the time. If you have to work somewhere, then you have to tie yourself with a belt. There you do not need to comb your hair because the hair always stands up. Water also keeps flying around like bubbles. If you want to wash your hands and face, you have to catch the bubbles and wet your cloth. To eat food, you have to catch the flying packets with your hands.
