Starliner Flight Day 5 Activities

Starliner has entered a quiescent state and will remain in a minimal power mode until it’s time to fully power back up and undock from the International Space Station to bring NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home. Meanwhile, teams on the ground have been reviewing vehicle system performance, as well as flight test objectives and operational capability checkouts achieved.

On June 10, the crew got to work supporting space station operations. After doing their daily exercises and health checks, Wilmore worked on a computer connected to the Microgravity Science Glovebox and Williams installed hardware in the Solid Fuel Ignition and Extinction chamber, in support of a space fire investigation.

Wilmore and Williams also began sharing their journey with the public from space during three in-flight events streamed live on NASA TV. Replays of those events are available via the links below.

• Students from the Sunita L. Williams elementary school in Needham, Mass. brought their questions to Williams, Wilmore and Expedition 71 crew members.
• NASA leaders Administrator Bill Nelson, Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, Associate Administrator Jim Free and Johnson Space Center Director Vanessa Wyche engaged with the crew
• Chirag Parikh, executive secretary of the U.S. National Space Council, asked the crew questions submitted by children throughout the United States
