After a cross-country journey through six U.S. states, the CST-100 Starliner arrived at Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 8.
Starliner’s homecoming is the culmination of the spacecraft spending six days in space, autonomously docked with the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time, as well as orbiting Earth 94 times and covering a total distance of 2,467,406 miles (3,970,905 kilometers). Starliner landed on May 25 at White Sands Space Harbor.
The crew module will be prepared for re-flight on the Starliner’s first long-duration ISS crew rotation mission, known as Starliner-1, which occurs after the Crew Flight Test.
