NASA's Space to Ground: The Road Ahead | Week of Sept. 6, 2024
NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. Mission managers have given the first “go” for the Boeing Starliner spacecraft to undock from the International Space Station at 6:04 p.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024, and land in New Mexico about six hours later. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have finished packing Starliner with cargo and configuring its cabin for return. The duo closed Starliner’s hatch for the final time Thursday afternoon readying the spacecraft for its uncrewed departure.
Wilmore and Williams will remain aboard the orbital outpost until February 2025 when they are scheduled to return to Earth aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft with the Crew-9 mission.
