.NASA and Boeing safely gave back the uncrewed Starliner space capsule observing its touchdown at 10:01 p.m. MDT Sept. 6 at White Sands Room Port in New Mexico, concluding a three-month tour examination to the International Spaceport Station." I am incredibly pleased with the work our cumulative group embeded this whole tour test, and also our team are pleased to find Starliner's secure gain," pointed out Ken Bowersox, associate supervisor, Room Workflow Purpose Directorate at NASA Central Office in Washington. "Although it was essential to come back the space capsule uncrewed, NASA and also Boeing discovered an unbelievable volume about Starliner in the best severe atmosphere possible. NASA awaits our ongoing work with the Boeing staff to proceed towards certification of Starliner for staff rotation purposes to the space station.".The trip on June 5 was actually the first time astronauts launched aboard the Starliner. It was actually the 3rd periodic air travel of the space capsule, as well as its second gain coming from the orbiting research laboratory. Starliner right now will deliver to NASA's Kennedy Space Facility in Florida for evaluation as well as processing.NASA's Industrial Workers Plan calls for a spacecraft to take flight a crewed exam air travel to show the system awaits frequent air travels to and from the orbiting research laboratory. Complying with Starliner's profits, the company will assess all mission-related information." Our company are delighted to possess Starliner home safely and securely. This was a crucial examination tour for NASA in setting our team up for potential goals on the Starliner unit," claimed Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Workers Course.
