Sunita Williams, Ohio-born astronaut on September 19, 1965 to Dr. Deepak Pandya, married Michael J Williams, logged 322 days in space. With degrees from trusted institutions, she piloted NASA's Starliner, facing a Boeing mission delay. Honored with awards ...

NASA has shared an update on Sunita Williams. After announcing the extension of Williams' mission, the space agency has said that the spacecraft is in good condition.

While it is true that Williams and Wilmore are safe aboard the ISS, it is also true that Starliner turned out to be defective and failed to return on its scheduled date. As of now, Boeing and NASA teams, while acknowledging Starliner's issues, are trying to bring the public's attention to their objective of collecting as much data as possible.

NASA and Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, initially set for a week-long mission, now faces indefinite extension due to technical problems. Astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams remain safe as engineers work to resolve the issues.

Sunita Williams, a Needham High grad and namesake of a local elementary school, is currently at the International Space Station.

After more than three weeks since their mission began, originally planned for just a few days, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft still do not know when they will return.

Nasa and Boeing continue testing and analysis on the ground by exploring potential causes for the helium system leaks.

Amid the growing concerns about the Boeing Starliner's return to Earth, NASA has shared some good news. The space agency revealed at a conference last week that the spacecraft is in fairly good shape and can stay in orbit beyond its 45-day limit.

It was warned that Boeing's Starliner capsule may have issues, and before the liftoff, it was discovered that helium had leaked. It ran into trouble, developed more leaks on its journey to the ISS, and faced trouble in docking once it got there,
