SpaceX tapped to bring NASA astronauts home from Boeing’s troubled Starliner
Investing.com-- NASA said that its two astronauts stranded in the International Space Station will come home in a SpaceX craft in early-2025, while the Boeing (NYSE:Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will stay on the ISS until February 2025, before flying home in a SpaceX Dragon capsule as part of its Crew-9 mission. The mission will launch in early-September, NASA said in a statement.
“The uncertainty and lack of expert concurrence does not meet the agency’s safety and performance requirements for human spaceflight, thus prompting NASA leadership to move the astronauts to the Crew-9 mission,” NASA said in a statement. Media reports earlier in August had shown NASA was in discussions with Elon Musk’s SpaceX over bringing back Wilmore and Williams in a Dragon spacecraft, especially as the agency was unable to identify the root cause of what went wrong with the Starliner.
SpaceX has contract with NASA to supply cargo to the ISS, and has completed nine successful missions to and from the ISS, as of April 2024.Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and/or cryptocurrencies involves high risks including the risk of losing some, or all, of your investment amount, and may not be suitable for all investors.
