When a Russian satellite broke apart and debris began to approach the International Space Station, NASA gave the order for everyone involved in this project to seek refuge in Boeing’s Starliner spaceship until it could figure out a secure way to return them.
Although NASA and Boeing representatives have denied rumors that Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are stranded on the International Space Station (ISS), it is thought that they were exposed to helium leaks aboard the Boeing Starliner spaceship.
Rather, before the astronauts return to Earth, they are taking their time to thoroughly evaluate the issue.
NASA and Boeing officials have denied reports that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams are stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) and that they are taking their time to fully comprehend the situation before the astronauts return to Earth, despite the possibility that there were helium leaks on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
“I want to make it real clear that we’re not in any rush to come home,” said NASA’s Commercial Crew Program Manager Steve Stich, setting the record straight on the major announcement. “The station is a nice, safe place to stop and take our time to work through the vehicle and make sure we’re ready to come home,” he continued.
Before Starliner returns to Earth from the orbiting laboratory, NASA and Boeing are now assessing the propulsion system’s performance. The US space agency said that the next spacewalk outside the space station will now take place toward the end of July.
Although the astronauts arrived on June 6, their original schedule intended for them to stay in the orbiting space laboratory for eight days.
According to NASA, the spacecraft “currently has enough helium left in its tanks to support 70 hours of free flight activity following undocking.” A spacecraft typically ends its mission in seven hours.

NASA’s spacecraft Voyager 1 has resumed operations after experiencing technical problems for seven months. In November 2023, the probe began sending strange, incomprehensible data, which caused problems. The team has been working to resolve the issue ever since.
Two Indian American NASA astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, are now stuck in space and are having trouble returning to Earth.
NASA swiftly ordered all crew members on this mission to seek refuge in Boeing’s Starliner spaceship while it figured out a safe way to return them after a Russian satellite broke into pieces as the debris neared the International Space Station, as reported by Reuters.
Notably, the International Space Station is presently docked with the Starliner spacecraft, which left Earth on June 6.
