NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been preparing Boeing's Starliner spacecraft for its upcoming return to Earth. The space veterans focused on loading cargo and conducting final inspections aboard the International Space Station (ISS). In a strategic move to optimize space, they removed the crew seats to make room for additional cargo. Following this, the astronauts conducted a thorough photographic survey of the capsule to ensure all systems were in proper working order. The Starliner is scheduled to depart the ISS on Friday for its uncrewed journey back to Earth, marking a key step in NASA's space missions.
