.NASA as well as Boeing safely and securely returned the uncrewed Starliner space capsule observing its own touchdown at 10:01 p.m. MDT Sept. 6 at White Sands Room Harbor in New Mexico, wrapping up a three-month air travel examination to the International Spaceport Station." I am incredibly pleased with the work our aggregate staff embeded this whole air travel test, and our company are pleased to view Starliner's safe profit," stated Ken Bowersox, associate administrator, Space Operations Goal Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Even though it was necessary to come back the space capsule uncrewed, NASA and also Boeing discovered an amazing volume about Starliner in the best severe environment feasible. NASA eagerly anticipates our continuing team up with the Boeing staff to proceed towards qualification of Starliner for workers turning objectives to the space station.".The tour on June 5 was the very first time astronauts released aboard the Starliner. It was the third periodic tour of the space probe, and its own 2nd yield coming from the orbiting research laboratory. Starliner now is going to transport to NASA's Kennedy Room Facility in Fla for evaluation and also processing.NASA's Commercial Crew System calls for a spacecraft to flight a crewed examination air travel to verify the system awaits regular air travels to and also coming from the orbiting lab. Complying with Starliner's profits, the company will assess all mission-related records." Our team are thrilled to have Starliner home carefully. This was actually an essential test air travel for NASA in preparing our team up for potential objectives on the Starliner unit," stated Steve Stich, supervisor of NASA's Business Workers Course.

Observing full weeks of in-space and also ground screening, specialized variation conferences, and also organization reviews, NASA decided to focus on safety and security as well as profit Starliner without its workers. Wilmore and also Williams are going to continue their job aboard station as part of the Exploration 71/72 team, sending back in February 2025 with the company's SpaceX Crew-9 objective.The team flight examination is part of NASA's Commercial Team Program. The goal of NASA's Commercial Staff Program is actually secure, trustworthy, as well as affordable transit to as well as coming from the International Spaceport station and also reduced Earth track. This already is actually providing extra research time as well as has improved the chance for discovery aboard humankind's microgravity testbed, including assisting NASA prepare for individual exploration of the Moon and also Mars.Find out more about NASA's Business Team course at:.https://www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.- end-.Joshua Finch/ Jimi RussellHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ james.j.russell@nasa.gov.Leah CheshierJohnson Area Facility, Houston281-483-5111leah.d.cheshier@nasa.gov.Steve Siceloff/ Danielle Sempsrott/ Stephanie PlucinskyKennedy Space Center, Florida321-867-2468steven.p.siceloff@nasa.gov/ danielle.c.sempsrott@nasa.gov/ stephanie.n.plucinsky@nasa.gov.
