Summary
- Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station without the two astronauts it delivered to orbit in early June.
- The undocking process was different without crew onboard to protect the ISS and take manual control if necessary.
- The test flight of Starliner, named “Calypso,” lasted much longer than initially predicted due to delays and propulsion system issues.
- Boeing’s setback with Starliner could impact its future involvement in NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
