The Boeing Starliner Calypso, which launched to the International Space Station on June 5 with two experienced astronauts on board, is about to undock from ISS after three months on orbit — but with those fliers staying behind on the Station for the next six months while the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission ends without them on board.
The autonomous undocking happened on schedule Friday, Sept. 6 at 6:04 PM EDT (22:04 UTC). Landing was initially scheduled for later that same day at 10:04 PM MDT (04:04 UTC Saturday, Sept. 7) at White Sands in New Mexico. This was the third uncrewed landing of Starliner at that site, and the fourth landing of a crew-capable vehicle there.
