After 93 days, Nasa’s troubled Starliner setting stage for unpiloted return to Earth – Times of India

Boeing’s Starliner capsule is getting ready to undock from the International Space Station (ISS) after a challenging test flight. The astronauts on board, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, will stay on the ISS while the capsule departs. The undocking procedure is scheduled for Friday evening, with the capsule expected to land in New Mexico on Saturday. The astronauts will return to Earth in February next year. NASA will provide live coverage of the return on various platforms. The Starliner encountered issues during its approach, leading NASA to decide to return it to Earth without its crew for safety reasons.
