The National Aeronautics of Space Administration (NASA) has shared an update on Sunita Williams return to return. The US space agency has said that the Boeing Starliner spacecraft is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station (ISS) and return to Earth on June 22. This will give more time to finalize planning for the complicated process.
On June 5, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were launched aboard the Starliner spacecraft. They successfully reached the International Space Station (ISS) the following day after a journey that lasted 24 hours. They reached the ISS after many delays as the spacecraft experienced challenges including four helium leaks and five malfunctions of its 28 maneuvering thrusters.
“The extra time allows the team to finalize departure planning and operations while the spacecraft remains cleared for crew emergency return scenarios within the flight rules,” NASA and Boeing said in a statement.
