With the Crew-9 back to Earth and the new ISS astronauts, questions about how much NASA astronauts make money, while on board the oriented research stations arises-whether Wilmore and Williams could get extra because of their widespread space.
“When NASA astronauts are on board an international space station, they receive regular 40 -hour work salaries. They do not receive overtime or holiday/weekend payout,” NASA spokesman Fox Business said.
NASA astronaut's salaries Last year there were over $ 152,000, the NASA website indicated.
NASA spokesman said NASA astronauts are provided with transport, accommodation and meals because they are “on official travel orders as federal employees“While in space.
“They are also on long -term TDs and get the amount of incidentors They are in space for every day, ”Fox also said Fox Business.
This incidental rate would probably match $ 1,430 for Wilmore and Williams.
A long stay in the ISS came after NASA and Boeing ended and decided that Starliner, who brought a couple to space, would at the beginning of September to “continue to collect test data” on spacecraft while traveling back “and not accepting a greater risk than necessary for her crew”. Helia “and” problems with control of the reaction to the spacecraft “, as it approached during its journey from June 2024, at that time the space agency said.
