🚀#X37B is currently performing advanced aerobraking maneuvers, taking it from a highly elliptical orbit and lowering its altitude using minimal fuel. This first-of-its-kind demonstration expands our knowledge of dynamic operations between orbits. Watch to learn more:


Learn from #TeamBoeing and the @SpaceForceDoD about the #X37B’s innovations and contributions to the space domain:


The Boeing-built #X37B will perform ground-breaking aerobraking maneuvers to take the dynamic spaceplane from one Earth orbit to another while conserving fuel. Partnered with @SpaceForceDoD, this novel demonstration is the first of its kind. Learn more: boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-…

#Starliner landed safely at 12:01 a.m. ET (10:01 p.m. MT) at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.


Touchdown #Starliner.


Airbags deployed, will cushion #Starliner as it lands on the desert floor.


#Starliner’s base heat shield has jettisoned, revealing airbags that will cushion the capsule’s landing.


Three main parachutes have deployed and will carry #Starliner towards the landing site.


Drogue parachutes have deployed, slowing #Starliner’s speed and increasing its drag.


The forward heat shield jettisoned.


#Starliner has reached entry interface. Communications with the spacecraft will be interrupted for ~4 minutes during reentry.


The service module has jettisoned, and #Starliner is angling for reentry.


#Starliner has completed its deorbit burn.
