Sunita Williams and team mission
NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, Buch Wilmore, Nick Hague and Roskosmos’ astronaut Alexander Gorbunov traveled to space on 5 June last year from Boeing Starlineer. It was an eight -day mission, but due to a technical problem in Starlineer Capsules, he had to stay in ISS for nine months. After this, NASA included him in SpaceX’s crew-9 mission.

Astronauts will be first sent for medical examination, so that their health can be examined and they can keep pace with gravity. NASA also said that he will be given fresh food soon.
