Boeing’s Starliner Spacecraft Lands Safely in New Mexico After Aborted Ascent – NASA (Video)

Boeing’s new Starliner spacecraft has returned to Earth on Sunday, landing at a designated site in New Mexico north of El Paso, after it failed to dock with the International Space Station, NASA has said.

The day before, NASA said that the Starliner’s orbit is “stable” and the American had engineers evaluated the condition of the capsule as “healthy”. 

The CST-100 Starliner was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida atop an Atlas V carrier rocket for its first unmanned test flight. The spacecraft, however, failed to dock with the International Space Station (ISS) due to the failure of an automated timer.
