Sunita Williams breaks records as two ‘stuck’ astronauts. Mint

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams logged in 62 hours and 6 minutes spacewalking on Thursday (30 January), crossing the record for the longest time spent by a woman in a vacuum of space.

During a five -and -a -half -hour spacewalk with his colleague Buch Wilmor, Sunita Williams crossed the total spacewalking time of former astronaut Pegi Whitson from 60 hours and 21 minutes.

NASA announced a historic feat as it was said that Williams had completed nine spacewalks after the other on Thursday, while Pagi still had 10 spacewalks under his belt. This means that Whitson still holds the record for the most spacewalk by a woman at 10.

“Central time at 10:24 am, this morning, Sun Williams crossed Eva’s total record of former astronaut Paigi Whitson’s aggregate record [extravehicular activity] The hour … listened records grow while passing each, “an official of NASA announced.

In addition, Williams is likely to pass NASA astronaut Jeff Williams at the time of flight, “placed him second behind Paigi Whitson for American astronaut experience.”

Prior to this mission, Sunita Williams spent a cumulative total of 322 days in space. Meanwhile, Jeff Williams has 534 cumulative days in space.

After his launch at Boeing’s Starlineer spacecraft, Williams has spent a cumulative total of over 500 days in space. He is likely to cross Jeff’s tally when he returns from space in late March or early April.

Thursday’s spacewalk

Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmor, NASA’s two “stuck” astronauts took their first spacewalk together on Thursday, out of the international space station after about eight months. The spacewalk lasted for about 5 hours and 26 minutes.

Space.com said that Thursday’s Eva Buch was the fifth of Wilmor, which brought its total time for 31 hours and 2 minutes.

Commander Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmor removed a broken antenna and erased the outer of the station for evidence of any microbes, which could survive even after launching from the Earth and running through the vent.

Opening Balki antenna after some initial troubles, astronauts finally closed it about four hours after popping the hatch. Mission control urged him to see her for any temporary parts by removing an antenna.

Two ‘stuck’ astronauts

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore rode the Starlineer spacecraft of Boeing on 5 June 2024 for their first crew flight. The pair were expected to stay in space for only one week when they arrived at the space station on 6 June.

But his brand new ride, Boeing’s Starlineer Capsule faced such a problem that NASA decided to vacate it.

It left two test pilots, both retired naval captains, until the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft could bring them home. But this will not be until the end of March or by the beginning of April, due to the delay in launching its replacement by extending your mission to 10 months.

Many people believe that Sunita and Butch were “trapped” or “stuck” in space. However, NASA and two astronauts rubbed the claims, saying they were enjoying their time in space.

Sunita Williams once said, “This is my happy place. I like to stay here in space. It’s fun … it adds a little different perspective.” He said that it is very peaceful in space many times. “It is really difficult for me that people on Earth are not getting together … it’s a planet we have and we all should be really happy that we are there together …” he said .

Williams performed a spacewalk with NASA astronaut Nick Hague two weeks ago. It marked Wilmore for the first time outside this journey. Both rack the spacewalk during the stay of the last space station.

There have been 274 spacewalks at the International Space Station since December 1998.
