Overview

• Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams completed a standard 45-day physical therapy program after splashing down in March from a nine-month stay aboard the ISS.
• The pair have rejoined Boeing’s Starliner team, NASA’s space station unit in Houston and agency researchers to support ongoing program work.
• They dedicate at least two hours daily to strength and conditioning with NASA medical staff to maintain post-flight fitness gains.
• Boeing’s Starliner suffered propulsion issues that extended the astronauts’ planned eight-day test into nine months and led to $2 billion in development charges.
• NASA has summer testing scheduled for Starliner and the astronauts back an additional uncrewed flight before clearing the capsule for future crewed missions.
