•Boeing Starliner capsule lands back on Earth, without astronauts, to end troubled test flight (video)
70% Informative
The Boeing Starliner space capsule returned to Earth early this morning ( Sept. 7 ) The landing was long-delayed, coming more than three months into an orbital mission.
While Starliner launched with two NASA astronauts aboard, nobody rode it home.
The mission encountered issues more recently as well as a helium leak in the capsule's service module.
Starliner failed to meet up with the orbiting lab on the first flight after suffering several glitches.
The second uncrewed mission was a success, though Starliner experienced some thruster issues on that flight as well.
It's unclear at the moment if Starliner will be certified by then — or what additional tests will require before certification can occur.
