[Music] Starliner spacecraft which had autonomously started back from the International Space Station without crew members landed at White Sands space Harbor in New Mexico at 121 a.m. EDT 9:31 p.m. Saturday 7 September 2024 IST 41 p.m. UTC it had been at the space station for for 3 months and is the first americanmade orbital Crow capsule designed to perform ground Landing as a reusable spacecraft base heat shield of the spacecraft separated before landing to allow the six airbags to inflate and brace for a ground Landing though called as airbags they were actually filled with nitrogen three main par udes were deployed for slowing down the uncrewed [Music] capsule during The Descent of the Starliner spacecraft around 30,000 ft after atmospheric re-entry forward heat shield separated to allow Dr parachutes to inflate and slow down the vehicle drop parachute is also called a drag Ute and is designed for deployment from a rapidly moving object that will decrease speed to provide control and stability and acts as a pilot parachute to deploy a larger parachute Dro parachutes separated about 45 seconds later at around 8,000 ft and three larger main parachutes were deployed to slow down on Star liner to 4 mph this was needed for airbag assisted Landing following the deployment of main parachutes base heat shield moved off to expose six airbags which assisted a soft Landing after landing technicians use equipment for checking any lingering hypergolic fluids before approaching the star liner hypergolic fluids are toxic liquids which can react spontaneously and violently when they contact each other they are used in different rocket and aircraft propulsion systems hypergolic fluids can provide hydraulic power and are used in orbiting satellites man spacecraft military aircraft as well as deep space probes after the initial safety check technicians will open the hatch and unload time critical cargo on board the spacecraft still later the spacecraft will be transported to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida
