Finally Happened! Boeing Starliner Return Date Revealed, SpaceX Dragon to Rescue Astronauts??
After numerous setbacks, the departure date for the troubled Starliner spacecraft has been set, regardless of how it will return. In stark contrast to Boeing’s struggles, SpaceX is celebrating new milestones with its latest Falcon 9 mission. Additionally, there’s a glimmer of hope for the VIPER lunar rover, which may be salvaged following NASA’s cancellation decision.
Join us as we delve into these updates on today’s episode of Great SpaceX.
As of now, the Starliner CFT-1 mission has been docked with the ISS for over 70 days, significantly exceeding initial expectations. The pressing question of when it will conclude has recently been addressed by journalist Eric Berger. While not an official source, Berger has a track record of accurate insights, such as his early prediction of NASA delaying Crew-9 to September.

According to Berger’s update, NASA has tentatively scheduled Starliner’s undocking from the ISS for September 6 at the latest. Specifically, the targeted date for a crewed undock is September 2, with an uncrewed undock slated for September 6. This schedule suggests that Starliner must leave the ISS in early September, with the difference between crewed and uncrewed undocking potentially indicating the spacecraft’s current condition.

According to journalist Eric Berger’s recent revelations, which have a track record of accuracy, the Starliner spacecraft is expected to dock with the ISS for approximately 90 days. This aligns with NASA’s previously extended schedule. The pressing question now is whether the two astronauts will return on Starliner.
As of now, NASA has yet to reach a final decision regarding the Starliner spacecraft. The agency has decided to extend its testing and evaluation period by an additional week, with a particular focus on the spacecraft’s RCS (Reaction Control System) propulsion system. This extension reflects the complexity and ongoing issues with Starliner, and while the decision has been postponed, it was expected given the circumstances.
The outcome concerning the return of the Starliner astronauts is anticipated to be clarified by the end of August. The tentative return dates are set for early September, with two possible scenarios: a crewed undocking scheduled for September 2 or an uncrewed undocking on September 6. This timeline will determine whether the astronauts will return aboard Starliner or if an alternate arrangement will be required.
