It’s now been about 6 days since Starliner docked to the International Space Station for the first time with Crew, and already teams are starting to prepare for undocking and reentry. This includes ground teams assessing the five helium leaks on Starliner to determine if they pose any risk for the return mission.
A recent statement suggests that they don’t plan to leave the station until June 18th at the earliest. That gives the crew time to complete more Starliner-related tests at the station and ground crews to check and make sure the spacecraft is operating as intended. Here I will go more in-depth into the current state of Starliner, the impact of its leaks, the crew’s progress, and more.
