NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aboard Starliner would dock to the orbital outpost's forward port on the Harmony module at 1:34 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 6."

"NASA will return Boeing's Starliner to Earth without NASA Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aboard the spacecraft.

The uncrewed return allows NASA and Boeing to continue gathering testing data on Starliner during its upcoming flight home, while also not accepting more risk than necessary for its crew.

Wilmore and Williams will continue their work formally as part of the Expedition 71/72 crew through February 2025. They will fly home aboard a Dragon spacecraft with two other crew members assigned to the agency's SpaceX Crew9 mission.

Starliner is expected to depart from the International Space Station and make a safe, controlled autonomous re-entry and landing in early September.

NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Launch

"A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aboard launches from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Wednesday, June 5, 2024, in Florida. NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test is the first launch with astronauts of the Boeing CFT-100 spacecraft and United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The flight test, which launched at 10:52 a.m. EDT, serves as an end-to-end demonstration of Boeing’s crew transportation system and will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to and from the orbiting laboratory."
