Sunita Williams Latest Update: Sunita Williams will return to space from SpaceX Dragon with her partner Butch Wilmore. Although it is being said that he will return in February, but currently some more updates related to this return are coming. It is reported that his eyes are being examined thoroughly. Let us tell you that he had problems with his eyes a few months ago. Necessary rigorous training is also being given by NASA to bring both of them back.
International Space Station (ISS) commanders Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are busy making final preparations to return to Earth. Apart from this training, Williams is completing important work on ISS which is very important for return. The success of the mission depends to a large extent on the preparations for these last stages. Williams is fitting and fine-tuning the spacesuit so that a thorough inspection can be done and necessary repairs can be made. All these steps are important to deal with any unexpected emergency on the way back to space.
Williams has completed training with NASA flight engineer Butch Wilmore to perform eye tests using the Ultrasound 2 device. Both took turns scanning each other’s eyes and at the same time doctors on Earth observed their corneas, lenses and optic nerves with real-time data. In fact, prolonged stay in microgravity can cause changes in the eyesight and eye health of astronauts.
According to the report of Times of India, both of them have now completed their departure training for their safe return in February. Both astronauts are completely healthy and ready to return.
