After completing a long-duration stay aboard the International Space Station, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 astronauts — Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore — are discussing 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.
