According to NASA, the capsule will start from the international station, as very soon, next March 19.
In this transition, the newly arrived crew is expected to become familiar with the maintenance and science work of the station in order to transition operations aboard the orbital complex.
On March 4, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams – the astronauts trapped – participated in a conference in which they said that at no time have they felt abandoned by NASA. Wilmore said that the need for additional supplies due to the extension of his mission did not represent an inconvenience.
Both arrived at the space station in early June in the First manned test flight of the Starliner ship of Boeing, with the initial forecast to remain in space just a week. However, a succession of several technical problems with the ship caused them to be trapped.
