  • NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Re-entry and Landing

    NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Re-entry and Landing

    Watch live as Boeing’s uncrewed Starliner spacecraft leaves low Earth orbit, reenters Earth’s atmosphere, and touches down at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. Starliner is scheduled to begin its deorbit burn at 11:17 p.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 6 (0317 UTC Sept. 7), with landing scheduled for 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 UTC) on Saturday, Sept. 7.

    NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams launched aboard Starliner on June 5 for its first crewed flight, arriving at the International Space Station on June 6. As Starliner approached the orbiting laboratory, NASA and Boeing identified helium leaks and experienced issues with the spacecraft reaction control thrusters. For the safety of the astronauts, NASA announced on Aug. 24 that Starliner would return to Earth from the station without a crew. Wilmore and Williams will remain aboard the station and return home in February 2025 on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission.

    Following Starliner’s return to Earth, a post-landing news conference is scheduled for 1:30 a.m. EDT (0530 UTC).

    Watch live as two NASA astronauts launch from Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft as one of the final steps on the road to certification. Launch of the ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket and Starliner spacecraft is targeted for 10:52 a.m. EDT Wednesday, June 5 (1452 UTC) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

    The two NASA astronauts aboard, flight commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams, will test the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner system, including launch, docking, and return to Earth. After a one-week stay docked to the International Space Station, the Starliner and crew will land under parachutes in the western United States.

    The launch attempt on May 6 was scrubbed due to a faulty oxygen relief valve observation on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket Centaur second stage. The launch attempt on June 1 was scrubbed due to an observation of a ground launch sequencer.

    Launch coverage on NASA+ (https://plus.nasa.gov) will end shortly after Starliner orbital insertion. NASA Television (https://nasa.gov/nasatv) will provide continuous coverage leading up to docking and through hatch opening and welcome remarks.

    Watch the landing of Boeing’s uncrewed Starliner, targeted at 6:49 p.m. EDT (22:49 UTC) at White Sands Space Harbor at the U.S. Army’s White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This return to Earth will wrap up the six-day Orbital Flight Test-2, which will provide valuable data toward NASA certifying Boeing’s crew transportation system for regular flights with astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

    Boeing’s Starliner launched to the space station on Thursday, May 19 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, and docked to the orbiting laboratory on Friday, May 20. The crew opened Starliner’s hatch on Saturday, May 21. The spacecraft will return home with more than 600 pounds of cargo, including Nitrogen Oxygen Recharge System reusable tanks that provide breathable air to station crew members. The tanks will be refurbished on Earth and sent back to station on a future flight.

    Starliner to Launch on NASA’s Boeing Orbital Flight Test-2 (Official Trailer)

    Set to lift off on May 19, 2022, Starliner will launch on NASA’s Boeing Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) headed for the International Space Station. OFT-2 will test end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner spacecraft and Atlas V rocket from launch to docking to a return to Earth in the desert of the western United States.

    Starliner is expected to arrive at the space station for docking about 24 hours after launch with about 500 pounds of NASA cargo and crew supplies. After a successful docking, Starliner will spend five to 10 days aboard the orbiting laboratory before returning to Earth. The spacecraft will return with nearly 600 pounds of cargo, including reusable Nitrogen Oxygen Recharge System (NORS) tanks that provide breathable air to station crew members.

    Following a successful completion of OFT-2, NASA and Boeing will determine a launch window for NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test, Starliner’s first flight with astronauts aboard.

    This is the second uncrewed flight test of the company’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
