Boeing's Starliner Undocks from ISS, Set for Midnight Landing in New Mexico
Sep 6, 2024, 10:15 PM
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, also known as Calypso, has successfully undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) and is set to return to Earth. The uncrewed capsule departed the ISS at 6:04 PM EDT and is expected to land at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico around midnight on September 7. This mission marks a significant step for Boeing and NASA, despite the Starliner's troubled history and previous safety concerns. The spacecraft is currently performing normally, with all systems reporting good status during its retreat from the ISS. The deorbit burn is scheduled for 11:17 PM EDT, following the completion of 12 burns and crossing the approach ellipsoid. The deorbit burn is expected to last 59 seconds.
