Cape Canaveral, FLA. (AP) – NASAs Two stuck astronauts Did their first space walk together on Thursday and left the international space station almost eight months after his move.
Commander Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore Driven to carry out maintenance work and wipe the outside of the station for proof of microbes that still live after the launch of the earth and escape from ventilation openings.
“Here we go,” said Wilmore when he appeared 260 miles (420 kilometers) above Spain.
But their brand new ride, the Starliner capsule of Boeing, encountered so many problems that NASA decided to bring it back.
That left the two test pilots, both retired naval captains, in a job until SpaceX can bring them home. This will only happen at the end of March or the beginning of April, which extends their mission to 10 months due to a SpaceX delay when launching their replacements.
Williams led one space walk Two weeks ago with another NASA Astronaut.
It marked Wilmore’s first time outside this trip. Both have picked up space walks during the previous space station.
