Sunita Williams will return to Earth on March 19 at 3.30 am Indian time. They are about to return to Earth via dragon capsules. This SpaceX rocket is called Falden-9. Which belongs to American businessman Alan Musk’s company SpaceX. He has reached the space station. Sunita and Buch Wilmore and other colleagues are returning to Earth in the dragon capsules of this rocket. So let’s know what is special in the dragon capsules.
Alan Musk’s company designed dragon capsules
It is reported that all astronauts will land on the coast of Florida with the help of Dragon Capsules. The task of this dragon capsule is to take astronauts to the international space station and bring astronauts back to Earth. It has been prepared by Allen Musk’s company. A commercial testing program was held for testing of dragon capsules. Under which the US space agency NASA and SpaceX jointly tested it.
How is the dragon capsule?
- The dragon aircraft has a capacity to carry 7 people. It can travel to a longer distance from the international space station and return. It can carry huge amounts of goods from Earth to the space station and back. Therefore it can also be used as a cargo spacecraft.
- 6 parachute dragon spacecraft works like this
- It is the first private spacecraft to bring humans to Earth from space.
- Its length is 8.1 meters. 16 engines have been used in this aircraft.
- To make the landing of astronauts easier, 6 parachutes have been installed in it.
- Two parachutes work to keep the speed of this aircraft stable.
- 4 parachutes help reduce the speed of spacecraft before landing. This makes it easier for astronauts to get into the water.
- The Dragon aircraft uses 16 Drako thrusters that help to advance the spacecraft during the mission. Each Dreco thruster produces 90 pounds of force in space.
According to the information available about the dragon capsules, it has gone 44 times at the international space station. He has completed his 49 missions. SpaceX claims that it uses the safest and reliable parachute system for the landing of astronauts. Dragon spacecraft astronauts to Earth’s orbit, ISS Or can be taken beyond that.
Where and how will the aircraft land?
This spacecraft will be launched in water near the Florida coast of America. Then astronauts will be taken out one by one. NASA will show its full live coverage. After landing, NASA will send all astronauts to Johnson Space Center so that they can undergo medical examination. During this time efforts will be made to understand their physical and mental changes.
