The return of American astronauts who suspended more than 9 months at the International Space Station on Earth, on Tuesday has concluded a space and a political chapter that the world continued its events and developments.
The French news agency reported that after a 17 -hour trip, the Space vehicle Spacex landed without hitches off the coast of Florida, transporting the American leader of Sony Williams and its compatriot Boch Wielmour, after slowing down 4 strong umbrellas.
He was accompanied by the pioneers on the return journey, their citizen Nick Haig, in addition to the Russian Alexander Goronov, and the reception of the four pioneers in the position of the landing of the vehicle by sea, a group of dolphins who fell; If he built Haig, who driven the vehicle, sang with the wireless communication device “that adventure!”, Describing the “large smiles” of his companions.
So the “Crowed Dragon” vehicle had come out of the water and its passengers were carefully pulled out and placed on stoves, and they mentioned the cameras by them.
According to the program, a preliminary medical examination are underway, after which they are transferred to Houston in Texas in the evening, where they meet their families, and then suffer a ri -adaptation program with the severity of the earth.
The pioneers of the veteran space were launched in a task mainly for 8 days, but their stay was due to the monitoring of the failures in the payment system of the Boeing “Starlaner”, which brought them to the station.
These failures pushed the US space agency “NASA” to make a decision in the summer to send the space vehicle made by empty Boeing and to bring the astronaut to the station via a Spacex vehicle owned by Elon Musk, who made a setback for “Boeing”.
In the midst of public popular sympathy for pioneers, this task has taken a recent political tendency with the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, since his predecessor Joe Biden has been accused of “deliberately abandoned” the astronauts, committing himself to “saving” them.
The White House highlighted, on Tuesday, through the “X” platform, the one that described as “fulfilling the promise”, praising the role played by Elon Musk.
The rich businessman, who became a consultant near Trump, had confirmed that he was able to save the pioneers for a long time, but did not specify how to achieve this goal and his statements aroused a sensation in the space sector.
The plan, which allowed the leadership of the pioneers long before the Republicans returned to power. At the end of September, NASA and Spacex sent only two people to the space station instead of the 4 who is assumed that they are included in the alternative crew, in order to leave empty places for Bush Wilmor and Sony Williams during the return trip.
Let the 4, and among these the two blocked pioneers, can leave the international space station, so they had to wait for the next crew to arrive in their place. It was mainly scheduled since February, but was postponed to mid -March, which happened on Tuesday.
NASA’s official, Steve Steich, said in a press conference that before today it was not a question of sending the alternative crew, adding that the recent delay was due to the amendments by the “Spacex”.
During their long stay at the International Space Station, Sony Williams and Bush Wilmor participated in several experiences. Williams said at the beginning of this month that “every day is interesting”, explaining that the wait was difficult, especially for their families.
As for Wilmor, he said: “We were ready to stay for a long time, despite our belief that we will only be a short time”.
Although more than 280 consecutive days have passed since their presence in space, Boch Wilmor and Sony Williams have not passed the record set by the American astronaut Franc Rubio. The latter spent 371 days at the International Space Station in 2023, instead of the 6 months which was initially designed, due to the loss of cooling liquid in the Russian spaceship, which was to be used during the return trip.
The Russian Valery Poliakov, who spent 437 days in a row at the previous space station “Mir” during the 1994-1995 phase, still has the absolute record for the longest individual residence in space.
