The Boeing Starliner spacecraft is set to return to Earth on September 7, after an uncrewed mission in space. The spacecraft will autonomously return to New Mexico, without the crew that launched it into space in June. NASA announced that flight controllers at Starliner Mission Control in Houston and Boeing Mission Control Center in Florida will guide the spacecraft's return.
Following its undocking from the International Space Station, the Starliner will take approximately six hours to reach the landing zone at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico, with a scheduled touchdown at midnight on September 7. Recovery teams will then prepare the spacecraft for its return to Boeing's Starliner factory at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
