NASA announced today that the Boeing Starliner spacecraft has successfully returned to Earth, landing in at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico, thus concluding a three-month flight test to the International Space Station (ISS).
Boeing Starliner’s flight on June 5th marked the first time that astronauts launched aboard the spacecraft and its third orbital flight. What’s next? Starliner will now be shipped to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for inspection, preparing it for regular flights to and from the orbiting laboratory.
