On Wednesday, July 10, at 11 AM EDT (8:30 pm IST), Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams and her colleague will deliver a much-awaited live speech to the Earth from the International Space Station (ISS).
We don’t have blood relations still, we’re anxious about the astronauts Sunita Williams and Wilmore. The two renowned astronauts have contributed immensely in unfolding many ISS operational technologies. NASA should do something to let them return on earth immediately. #NASA pic.twitter.com/5obPeuxYf9

Mission Background
On June 5, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore took off in a Boeing Starliner headed for the International Space Station (ISS). Their return was originally planned to take the Starliner back to Earth on June 22, but it was rescheduled for June 26 and then again last week to an upcoming date.
The NASA engineers are currently attending to a series of helium leaks on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, which is the reason for the delay in the astronauts’ return. On July 10 at 11 a.m. ET, @NASA_Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will be conducting an Earth-to-space conversation to discuss the agency’s @BoeingSpace Crew Flight Test mission. The media is invited to attend.
How to Follow Sunita Williams’s Speech
Up to 45 days can pass while the Boeing Starliner is docked to the space station. The spacecraft has just 10 days left to make a safe return to Earth, having already spent more than 35 days in orbit. They have not yet disclosed a revised return date.
Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore, astronauts for Boeing Crew Flight Test, will talk about their mission on an Earth-to-space call on Wednesday, July 10 at 11 am EDT (8:30 pm IST), according to a statement from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Conclusion
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore will be speaking live soon, and their address is expected to be enlightening as it will discuss their experiences on the International Space Station (ISS) and provide an update on NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test mission.
There have been difficulties with this trip, like as the Boeing Starliner spacecraft’s helium leaks that have delayed their return to Earth. These technological problems highlight the difficulties and dangers that come with space travel, highlighting the rigorous work that NASA engineers and astronauts must do together.
