.NASA and also Boeing carefully returned the uncrewed Starliner space capsule observing its own landing at 10:01 p.m. MDT Sept. 6 at White Sands Room Harbor in New Mexico, concluding a three-month flight examination to the International Spaceport Station." I am actually extremely pleased with the work our collective team embeded this entire tour test, and also our experts are pleased to view Starliner's safe gain," pointed out Ken Bowersox, associate manager, Area Functions Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Even though it was actually essential to come back the spacecraft uncrewed, NASA and also Boeing learned an awesome volume regarding Starliner in the best harsh atmosphere feasible. NASA expects our continuing collaborate with the Boeing crew to go ahead toward license of Starliner for team rotation objectives to the space station.".The tour on June 5 was actually the first time astronauts introduced aboard the Starliner. It was the third orbital flight of the space probe, and also its second profit coming from the orbiting research laboratory. Starliner right now will transport to NASA's Kennedy Area Center in Fla for evaluation and handling.NASA's Business Staff Plan needs a space probe to pilot a crewed examination tour to prove the device awaits normal trips to and also from the orbiting laboratory. Following Starliner's return, the company will definitely evaluate all mission-related data." Our company are actually thrilled to possess Starliner home carefully. This was actually a crucial examination flight for NASA in setting our team up for future purposes on the Starliner body," stated Steve Stich, supervisor of NASA's Office Crew Program.

The goal of NASA's Office Workers Course is actually safe, dependable, and affordable transit to as well as from the International Spaceport station and also low Planet orbit. This currently is actually delivering extra research time and has enhanced the chance for exploration aboard humanity's microgravity testbed, including assisting NASA prepare for individual exploration of the Moon as well as Mars.Find out more concerning NASA's Industrial Workers plan 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 Center, Houston281-483-5111leah.d.cheshier@nasa.gov.Steve Siceloff/ Danielle Sempsrott/ Stephanie PlucinskyKennedy Space Facility, Florida321-867-2468steven.p.siceloff@nasa.gov/ danielle.c.sempsrott@nasa.gov/ stephanie.n.plucinsky@nasa.gov.
