Sunita Williams’ space craft departs from the space station, will reach Earth at 9:30

It was a mission of only 8 days. But due to technical problems, its return had to be postponed. Now this spacecraft is returning to Earth without the crew. Sunita and Butch will remain on the International Space Station for the time being. They will be brought back by SpaceX flight in February. It is known that their return is getting delayed due to a problem in the thruster of the spacecraft’s capsule and helium leak. Here, after the landing of Starliner, the team of NASA and Boeing will take it back to the assembly unit. It will be examined there. It will be found out why there was a problem in the propulsion system of Starline. What was the reason for the helium leak. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program Manager Steve Stich had said, “We are excited about the return of Starliner.”
