あらすじ・解説
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has successfully returned to Earth following a period of extensive testing. Initially designed to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS), this recent mission, however, saw the Starliner return without any crew members. The spacecraft had previously faced several challenges, including issues that left astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, its test pilots, in a prolonged eight-month mission aboard the ISS.
This successful return marks a significant milestone for Boeing, as it continues to demonstrate the capabilities and reliability of the Starliner amidst a highly competitive space industry. In recent space exploration news, other notable missions included SpaceX's Polaris Dawn and China's Chang'e 6 probe. SpaceX's Polaris Dawn recently completed its historic mission and safely returned to Earth, while China's Chang'e 6 probe successfully returned from the moon's far side on June 27, 2024.
