americans barry wilmar and sunita williams will have to live on the iss for some time. the boeing starlight spacecraft managed to deliver them into orbit, but on the way back to earth it will go without passengers. first, during the flight , the helium tanks started leaking, and then the device docked to the station began to make suspicious sounds. earth, there are some sounds coming from the speakers here, i don't know where they're coming from, maybe there's a short circuit somewhere. starlinener is an ambitious project by booing, an american military contractor's attempt to break into the space race. relatively simple, it consists of a reusable module for the service module crew. at the moment, it is known that the problems arose in the ship's propulsion system. gels are used to maintain the necessary pressure in the fuel tanks and oxidizer, so that the mixture flows directly into the engine. the tank is pressurized with helium, providing additional pressure inside it. helium as a piston, because the fuel of the boeing starliner cst-100, it is classic, it is demethyl

we decided that sunita williams and barry wilmar will return in february 2025 with the ninth spacex crew. the launch is scheduled for september in the chatelet , two seats will be freed up for the return home of sunya and butch, the starliner itself will go to earth without a crew. interestingly, right now the krew dragon ship is docked to the iss, but it will not be able to descend the abandoned astronauts won't be able to survive on it. firstly, all the seats are taken, secondly, the starliner crew is wearing the wrong type of spacesuits. in orbit, not physically, of course, there is no threat to survive from this point of view, there is enough space on the iss, like air, nitrogen cylinders are brought in on cargo ships, oxygen is obtained from water by electrolysis. thanks to the station's life support system, up to 13 people can work on it at the same time, now there are only nine cosmonauts in orbit, including the crew the ill-fated starliner. i was in a japanese module, you can always find a secluded. secluded corner where you can organize your sleeping place and generally personal

the flight, a helium leak occurred, and it was almost a miracle that the sunites williams and barry wilmare station safe and sound. this it's tough work being an astronaut, sending a human into space isn't easy in any mode. now. butch and sunny, as they're called, have everything they need to get the starliner back on its way. the boeing spacecraft wasn't originally designed to fly without a crew. butch and sunny will learn the ropes on thursday, as they'll be the ones closing the hatches between the starliner and the space station and preparing it for undock on friday. ninety seconds after undocking, the starliner will fire its engines so it's positioned above the iss, and after three or four orbits will deorbit. the flight director is not just explaining the procedure; according to the available protocols, the shuttle usually deorbits immediately. the maneuver is needed so that the emergency starliner does not have a chance to damage the iss. we will consider the possibility of multiple engine fires along the way. this will be handled by the starliner mission control team. we call this a
