NASA is preparing to announce on August 24 how Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will return from the ISS, exploring options with Boeing's Starliner and SpaceX.
As we assess the situation, we want to ensure that the Starliner is safe for reentry, and we will proceed based on the data provided by Boeing.
Steve Stich emphasized the importance of data-driven decisions, stating, 'We are letting the data drive our decision making relative to managing the small helium system leaks and thruster performance.'
With ongoing challenges, including thruster failures and helium leaks, NASA must rapidly conclude on the Starliner or consider alternatives for returning the astronauts.
