Sunita Villiams to go into Space with Boeing Capsule

The Giant Company “Boeing” in the field of Aeronautical and rockets manufacturing is working on the Space Station Project along with NASA. Boeing had earlier manufactured man less spacecraft and sent it into the space, but in this mission, they are working on the human space flights for the first time. Their Boing Starliner Calypso will be the first to carried out human space flight. For this mission to get accomplished, NASA has chosen two of their senior scientists one is Butch Wilmore and other one is Indian origin, NASA senior scientist, Astronaut and seven times spacewalker Sunita Williams.



This mission was earlier planned to be executed in July 2022, but it got postpone due to Covid. Now this mission will be carried out in the month of April 2023, the launch is expected in the 2nd or 3rd week of April with two Astronauts. Both the Astronauts will stay on International Space Station (ISS) for two weeks, all the preparations for the launch and their stay in the space has already been done.
Upon the success of the mission and getting the expected results, NASA is planning to open the doors for space tourism.

Why Boeing Starliner is different from other spacecrafts?
A spacecraft can hold itself into it’s orbit for the long time while the boeing is not able to do the same. Boeing is able to carry lots of goods with it in terms of equipments and other necessary things or items that are required to be carried for future inter planetary missions, spacecraft can’t carry much goods within it. This mission will open the door for the space tourism and inter planetary missions as well.



Sunita Williams is the first women Astronaut to performe 7 Spacewalks
Sunita WIlliams is the first women Astronaut to complete 7 spacewalks of total 50 hours and 40 minutes in the space. On two different missions Sunita has spent total of 321 days 17 hours and 15 minutes into the space.

Sunita was first launched to the International Space Station (ISS) with STS-16 on 9th December 2006 aboard the Space Shuttler Discovery. Sunita performed her first extra-vehicular activity on the eighth day of the STS-116 mission. On January 31st February 4th , and February 9th 2007, she completed three spacewalks from the ISS.



On April 26th 2007, NASA decided to bring Sunita back to Earth on the STS-117 mission aboard space shuttle Atlantis. Sunita served as a mission specialist and returned to Earth on June 22, 2007, at the end of the STS-117 mission. Sunita broke the record for longest single spaceflight by a woman. On the day of land, the weather conditions were not so favorable at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral that results to skip the 3 landing attempts over the period of 24 hours. They then diverted Atlantis to Edwards Air Force Base in California, where the shuttle touched down at 3:49 p.m. EDT, returning Sunita home after a 192-day stay in space.



On 15th July 2012, Sunita Williams was again launched to the ISS from the Baikonur Cosmodrome as the part of the Expedition 32/33. She was launched with Russian spacecraft Soyuz TMA-05M, that was docked to ISS for a 4 month stay of her there on 17th July 2012. Sunita served as the commander of the ISS during her stay onboard ISS Expedition 33. After serving the period of 4 month on ISS and carried various important experiments there, on 19th November 2012 she returned to the Earth.
