Publishing timestamp: 2024-08-24 17:14:59
Summary
Boeing will return its Starliner capsule from the International Space Station without NASA astronauts, turning to SpaceX instead. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will stay at the ISS for about six more months before flying home in February on SpaceX's Crew-9 mission. The decision marks a dramatic change for NASA and Boeing, as Starliner faced problems during its crew flight test. NASA will now conduct another phase of its Flight Readiness Review to determine when to bring the empty Starliner home.
