Boeing Starliner to Return Uncrewed Sept 6
News summary

NASA and Boeing's uncrewed Starliner spacecraft will undock from the International Space Station on September 6, 2024, at 6:04 p.m. EDT, and is expected to land at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico around midnight. Originally launched with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who will now return via a SpaceX vehicle in February 2025 due to issues with the Starliner's propulsion system, the spacecraft will be guided remotely by ground teams for a six-hour journey back to Earth. This mission is crucial for Boeing as the performance of Starliner could impact its future in human spaceflight, a program already burdened by significant financial losses. The return will be broadcast live on Space Affairs' YouTube channel. Recovery teams will prepare the spacecraft for its return to Boeing's factory at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
