Boeing's uncrewed Starliner set to undock after Sept 6, NASA says

NASA will proceed with the undocking of the uncrewed Boeing Starliner capsule not before Sept. 6, 2024, the space agency said on August 29 after concluding a review. Last week, the space agency said its two astronauts who flew to the International Space Station (ISS) in the Starliner in June would return to Earth on a SpaceX vehicle early next year. Starliner's propulsion system issues were deemed too risky for crewed return after the capsule experienced a series of glitches within the first 24 hours of its flight to the ISS. The journey back to Earth for the Starliner is expected to take approximately six hours from undocking to landing at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico, NASA said in a blog post.
