The Boeing Starliner is headed back to Earth without the astronauts it carried into space.
Nasa astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams performed the first crewed test flight for Starliner, but several problems arose with the spacecraft leading Nasa to delay the duo’s return until February 2025 aboard Space X’s Crew-9 Dragon spacecraft.
Starliner’s flight back will last six hours, and after it re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere it will use parachutes to slow its descent to land at the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico on Saturday.
