Nasa removes two astronauts from Space X flight to accommodate Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore stranded at ISS

IndiaTimes Friday, 30 August 2024 ()
Nasa plans to remove two astronauts from a SpaceX mission to make room for two ISS astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who will return early due to safety concerns with their Boeing Starliner capsule. The adjustments ensure their February return with Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov, while other astronauts are deferred to future flights. NASA’s move to incorporate private companies into its space programs began a decade ago, aiming to have competing US companies handle crew transportation in the post-shuttle era.
