NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 Post flight news conference
After completing a long-duration stay aboard the International Space Station, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 astronauts — Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore — discuss their scientific mission to space.
The three NASA crew members and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov returned to Earth on March 18. Gorbunov will not participate in the news conference because of his travel schedule.
Hague, Williams, and Wilmore completed over 900 hours of research while in orbit, conducting more than 150 unique experiments.
The crew studied plant growth and development, tested stem cell technology to help patients on Earth, and went on a spacewalk to collect samples from the station’s exterior, studying the survivability of microorganisms in space. Additionally, the crew supported 30 ham radio events with students worldwide and conducted a student-led genetic experiment, helping to inspire the next generation of explorers.
Hague and Gorbunov lifted off at 1:17 p.m. Sept. 28, 2024, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Williams and Wilmore launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft and United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on June 5, 2024. This from Space Launch Complex 41 as part of the agency’s Boeing Crew Flight Test.
The duo arrived at the space station on June 6. In August, NASA announced the uncrewed return of Starliner to Earth and integrated Wilmore and Williams as part of the space station’s Expedition 71/72 for a return on Crew-9.
Williams and Wilmore traveled 121,347,491 miles during their mission, spent 286 days in space, and completed 4,576 orbits around Earth. Hague and Gorbunov traveled 72,553,920 miles during their mission, spent 171 days in space, and completed 2,736 orbits around Earth.
