A NASA astronaut has offered a glimpse inside Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which docked with the ISS for the first time on Friday, May 20.
NASA astronaut Bob Hines has given interested earthlings their first look inside Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, which docked with the Internationals Space Station for the first time on Friday, May 20.
Hines offered a brief tour of the Starliner that, once fully tested, will take astronauts to and from the space station in missions launched from U.S. soil. Some have commented on how the interior of the spacecraft appears to look cluttered compared to NASA’s operational capsule, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, though to be fair the footage doesn’t show us the entirety of the Starliner’s interior, making it difficult to make a broader assessment of the design.
#Starliner has entered a planned quiescent phase while docked to the @space_station, which means its systems were powered down just like they would be during a long-duration mission. The Starliner will stay docked at the space station for between 5 and 10 days before returning to Earth in a parachute-assisted landing in New Mexico.
