NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams finished packing Starliner with cargo and configuring its cabin for return. The duo closed Starliner’s hatch for the final time Thursday afternoon, Sept. 5, 2024, 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.
NASA’s Commercial Crew Program works with the American aerospace industry to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the orbital outpost on American-made rockets and spacecraft launching from American soil.
