Eventually astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore are fully ready to return to the earth after a long wait. Both these astronauts who went to space for only 10 days mission have to spend more than 9 months at the International Special Station. Now the Crew-10 of NASA and Spacex has reached the Mission International Space Station to bring two more astronauts back to the earth along with these two. Under this mission, four astronauts have reached the space station by sitting on the spacecraft dragon of Spacex and in this, four astronauts already present there will come back.
Let us tell you why this spacecraft of spacex is special and why is it proving to be a trump card for NASA?
Why is the dragon special?
The Dragon spacecraft is capable of taking 7 passengers from the orbit of the earth ie orbit and beyond. Its biggest feature is that it not only goes to space but it also comes back and it can also be used again. It has been created by Spacex, the space agency of Bilinier Alan Musk. According to Spacex, it is currently the only spacecraft flying that is capable of bringing important amounts of cargo back to Earth. The Dragon spacecraft is the first private spacecraft to take humans to the space station.
If we talk about the dragon spacecraft, then its height is 8.1 meters and the width is 4 meters. When it is launched, its payload weight is 6000 kg while when it comes back, its payload weight remains half, ie 3000 kg.
Why the trump card made for NASA
In 2020, Spacex first returned the US capacity to carry NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) with the help of American spacecraft and come back to flying from there. Apart from flying astronauts into space for NASA, the dragon spacecraft of Spacex can take the spacecrafts by giving money to the earth’s orbit, ISS or beyond.
Land makes land with parasoot in return
The special thing about the dragon is to bring the astronauts back to the earth. When the spacecraft re -enters the atmosphere of the earth, it needs to be stabilized. There are two drug parachutes for this work in the dragon. There are four main parachutes to slow down the spacecraft just before the landing.
Let us know that about 29 hours after being launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule of Crew -10 astronauts was docked with ISS at 4.04 am on Sunday.
