One of two NASA pilots who has been stuck since arriving at the International Space Station more than seven months ago has taken to the ground.

Suni Williams, the network’s captain, had to address some late exterior maintenance operate alongside NASA’s Nick Hague.

They emerged as the orbiting test sailed 420km above Turkmenistan.

” I’m coming out”, Williams radioed.

Ideas called for Williams to re-enter the fray with Butch Wilmore next year.

Last June, Williams and Wilmore took off on what was supposed to be a week-long test trip aboard Boeing’s fresh Starliner capsules.

However, Starliner issues caused the spacecraft to drag out until it was returned, and NASA instructed the crew to leave.

Then SpaceX postponed the release of their repairs, leaving them with no time until late March or early April, ten weeks after they were launched.

Since an aborted astronauts in June, NASA astronauts have conducted the second spacecraft.

Water entered the chilling loop of an pilot’s suit, which caused the US spacewalks to be postponed.

NASA claimed that the issue had been resolved.

This was the seventh astronauts for Williams, who has lived on the storage place before.
