Boeing ’s Starliner has completed its first crewed journey to the International Space Station , carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams following its dramatic launch yesterday.

To monitor and manage these leaks, the three helium manifolds were closed in flight during the crew’s sleep period and were all reopened ahead of rendezvous and docking operations.
