NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams joined the Expedition 71 crew on the International Space Station one week ago and have been working closely with them each day on orbit.
On June 13, they helped astronauts Matt Dominick and Tracy Dyson suit-up and prepare for a planned spacewalk to remove a faulty electronics box from a communications antenna on station and to collect samples of microorganisms on the exterior of the orbiting laboratory.
When the spacewalk was later called off, Wilmore and Williams helped Dominick and Dyson get back out of their extravehicular activity spacesuits.
Later, the Starliner crew took an inventory of the food, water and hygiene products that have been used up to this point. They also worked with flight controllers to update a USB drive that is often refreshed with new information for return scenarios, like weather conditions, that can be downloaded to their tablets and used for an unlikely situation where crew would need to quickly leave the ISS.
