Unexpected Hurdle for Astronauts
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore face a complication as Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, now departing the International Space Station (ISS) empty, leaves them stranded in space.
Starliner Suit Incompatibility
The issue arises from the incompatibility of Boeing’s Starliner spacesuits with SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. NASA's commercial crew manager, Steve Stich, has confirmed that the suits worn by Williams and Wilmore do not fit the Crew Dragon’s requirements.
Starliner's Departure
Boeing’s Starliner, initially intended to return the astronauts, is being sent back to Earth without a crew due to propulsion system issues. The spacecraft's departure is set for Friday, leaving Williams and Wilmore relying on alternative plans for their return.
