.NASA and also Boeing safely and securely sent back the uncrewed Starliner spacecraft following its own landing at 10:01 p.m. MDT Sept. 6 at White Sands Area Port in New Mexico, ending a three-month air travel test to the International Space Station." I am remarkably pleased with the job our cumulative crew took into this whole entire flight test, as well as our team are pleased to see Starliner's secure yield," stated Ken Bowersox, associate supervisor, Space Operations Objective Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Although it was actually needed to return the space probe uncrewed, NASA and also Boeing found out an unbelievable quantity concerning Starliner in the most severe atmosphere achievable. NASA awaits our continuous work with the Boeing staff to go ahead towards qualification of Starliner for workers rotation goals to the spaceport station.".The trip on June 5 was the first time rocketeers introduced aboard the Starliner. It was the 3rd periodic tour of the spacecraft, and its second yield from the orbiting research laboratory. Starliner now will certainly deliver to NASA's Kennedy Room Facility in Florida for assessment as well as processing.NASA's Industrial Crew Program needs a spacecraft to fly a crewed test air travel to prove the body is ready for frequent flights to and also from the orbiting laboratory. Adhering to Starliner's return, the agency will definitely evaluate all mission-related information." Our team are actually thrilled to have Starliner home securely. This was an essential examination air travel for NASA in establishing our team up for future purposes on the Starliner device," said Steve Stich, supervisor of NASA's Industrial Workers System. "There was a ton of important understanding that will definitely permit our long-term success. I would like to support the whole entire group for their effort and also commitment over the past three months.".NASA rocketeers Butch Wilmore and also Suni Williams introduced on June 5 aboard Starliner for the organization's Boeing Crewed Flight Examination from Peninsula Canaveral Space Pressure Terminal in Fla. On June 6, as Starliner came close to the space station, NASA as well as Boeing identified helium water leaks and also seasoned concerns along with the space probe's reaction management thrusters. Observing weeks of in-space as well as ground testing, specialized variation conferences, and agency customer reviews, NASA made the decision to prioritize safety as well as yield Starliner without its staff. Wilmore and also Williams will proceed their job aboard terminal as aspect of the Expedition 71/72 team, sending back in February 2025 along with the firm's SpaceX Crew-9 goal.The team tour examination belongs to NASA's Industrial Staff Course. The objective of NASA's Business Workers Program is actually safe, reputable, as well as cost-effective transit to as well as from the International Spaceport station and reduced Planet orbit. This presently is actually supplying extra investigation opportunity as well as has actually boosted the chance for exploration aboard humankind's microgravity testbed, including assisting NASA get ready for human exploration of the Moon and Mars.Discover more concerning NASA's Business Workers program 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 Room 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.
