NASA's coverage is underway on NASA+, the NASA app, and YouTube, and the agency's website as Boeing's uncrewed Starliner spacecraft prepares for deorbit burn, entry, and landing.

Starliner autonomously undocked from the forward-facing port of the International Space Station's Harmony module at 6:04 p.m. EDT, and mission managers gave a "go" for the spacecraft to proceed for a deorbit burn.

Starliner's deorbit burn is expected at 11:17 p.m. EDT and involves the spacecraft firing its larger orbital maneuvering and attitude control thrusters, providing the power necessary to re-enter Earth's atmosphere.
