The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced an extension for the return of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft from the International Space Station (ISS). The spacecraft, carrying astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, is now scheduled to undock from the ISS on June 22nd. This decision provides additional time to finalize planning for the departure process, ensuring a safe and successful return to Earth.
Boeing Space’s Starliner spacecraft and United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket have been transported to the launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking a significant milestone towards the first crewed flight of the Starliner. Despite previous delays due to technical issues, this Saturday’s launch appears to be on track, potentially marking the first time astronauts will board the Starliner for a voyage to the International Space Station.
