Science and technology, explained simply
American astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams conducted a video tour of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, which is currently docked to the ISS.
The Starliner, whose launch was postponed many times due to various technical problems, docked with the ISS on June 6, 2024, at 20:33 Kyiv time, despite the failure of the orientation engines.
Wilmore and Williams will remain aboard the ISS until at least June 18, five days longer than originally planned. The additional time will allow engineers to check all Starliner systems.
