Boeing’s new unmanned spacecraft has returned to Earth after a six-day journey to the ISS space station. Boeing plans to use the spacecraft to take astronauts to the International Space Station. The first voyage with people on board is to be made at the end of this year.
The return was swift: About four hours after leaving the space station, the space capsule landed in the New Mexico desert. The capsule, with only one dummy inside, was filled with airbags. According to a senior NASA official, the mission was “extremely successful” and all objectives were achieved.
The successful mission is a boost for Boeing, which has already lost nearly $600 million due to problems with the spacecraft. An earlier experiment with the space capsule went awry at the end of 2019.
Have A Nice Day!
