The return will take place a full three months after Starliner arrived at the ISS in June, but it will leave behind the astronauts it delivered to the space station.
Still, NASA decided that the vessel should come back sans the astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. The duo will stay on the ISS until February, thewrote, when they’ll return to Earth aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon. Dana Weigel, NASA’s program manager for the space station, told the newspaper that Williams and Wilmore both trained for a longer mission, and that they know how to perform spacewalks and operate the ISS’s robotic arm.
The first step, though, will be the craft’s return home tomorrow. If weather or technical issues force a delay, backup dates are set for September 10, 14, and 18.Tori Latham is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
