Astronaut Sunita Williams of the American space agency NASA is on a long mission in space. And her return is constantly awaited. These days she is working with Wilmore on how to grow plants without soil in space. NASA has sent these two veteran astronauts to the International Space Station under the Boeing Starline mission.
NASA said in its blog post that it is working on finding and testing ways to water plants in microgravity. They have designed plant water management hardware. NASA wrote in its blog that Williams conducted several tests using hydroponics and air. She wanted to understand how to properly grow different types of plants while in space. Williams and Wilmore also videotaped the entire investigation and experiment.
When will Sunita come back to earth?
It is worth noting that NASA had recently said about Sunita Williams and her spacecraft that the time limit of the mission has been extended. There was also a fear that the spacecraft might have crashed somewhere. But later NASA said that everything is in good condition and there is no need to worry at the moment. The space mission of Boeing Starliner has been extended.
However, it is not yet decided when both of them will return to Earth. In the last two days, the Starliner spacecraft also had a technical fault. Thus, if everything had gone according to the mission plan, the spacecraft would have returned last month. Earlier, it had malfunctioned due to helium leakage. But later problems were also found in its thrusters.
