Starliner astronauts’ replacement crew arrive at International Space Station
The day after the explosion, a SpaceX unit capsule arrived at the International Space Station on Sunday and was delivered Two NASA’s replacements for two astronauts.
Four new immigrants representing the United States, Japan and Russia will learn the ins and outs of the station from Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams in the next few days. Both will then tie it in their own SpaceX capsule later this week, which has been there since last year to end an unexpected expansion mission that began last June.
Wilmore and Williams are expected to launch for a week on Boeing’s first astronaut flight. They reached the nine-month mark early this month.

Boeing Superstar Capsules Have encountered many problems NASA insists on returning to the air, leaving its test pilot behind and waiting for the SpaceX lift.
Their ride arrived in late September and the crew sized two and two empty seats were backed by legs. But when their alternatives’ brand new capsules require a lot of battery repair, more delays are created. An older capsule replaced it, boosting their return rate for several weeks until mid-March.
What weather allows is that space capsules with Williams and two other astronauts will evacuate from the space station no earlier than Wednesday and splash off the coast of Florida.
