(Belga) The Boeing capsule, Starliner, docked Friday evening at the International Space Station, more than an hour behind schedule due to final checks during maneuvers, according to a video broadcast in direct from this test flight, which must demonstrate that the ship is safe to transport humans in the future.
After a first failed attempt in 2019, this step finally marks a success for Boeing, which has meanwhile been overtaken by SpaceX for the transport of astronauts. NASA wants the two companies to eventually serve as a taxi to the Space Station. (Belga)
