.NASA and also Boeing safely and securely gave back the uncrewed Starliner space capsule observing its landing at 10:01 p.m. MDT Sept. 6 at White Sands Room Wharf in New Mexico, concluding a three-month air travel examination to the International Space Station." I am very pleased with the job our cumulative group embeded this whole flight test, and our team are pleased to find Starliner's risk-free yield," stated Ken Bowersox, associate supervisor, Area Functions Objective Directorate at NASA Company Headquaters in Washington. "Even though it was necessary to come back the space probe uncrewed, NASA as well as Boeing knew an incredible volume concerning Starliner in the absolute most excessive environment possible. NASA expects our continuous deal with the Boeing staff to continue toward accreditation of Starliner for crew turning purposes to the space station.".The tour on June 5 was actually the very first time astronauts launched aboard the Starliner. It was actually the third periodic flight of the spacecraft, and its 2nd return from the orbiting laboratory. Starliner right now is going to ship to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for examination and also processing.NASA's Commercial Staff Course demands a space capsule to pilot a crewed test flight to prove the unit awaits frequent trips to as well as coming from the orbiting laboratory. Following Starliner's profits, the organization will certainly assess all mission-related information." We are actually thrilled to have Starliner home safely. This was actually an essential examination flight for NASA in preparing our team up for potential goals on the Starliner unit," claimed Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Business Crew Plan.

The target of NASA's Business Workers Program is secure, dependable, and also affordable transportation to as well as from the International Spaceport station as well as reduced Planet orbit. This presently is actually offering added research opportunity and has actually enhanced the opportunity for revelation aboard humankind's microgravity testbed, featuring helping NASA organize individual exploration of the Moon as well as Mars.Discover more regarding NASA's Commercial Crew 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 Room Center, Florida321-867-2468steven.p.siceloff@nasa.gov/ danielle.c.sempsrott@nasa.gov/ stephanie.n.plucinsky@nasa.gov.
