Starlajner

Taksi za astronaute uspešno sleteo (VIDEO)

Boingova svemirska kapsula Starlajner, budući taksi za astronaute, uspešno je pristala na Međunarodnu svemirsku stanicu (MSS).

Prema snimcima američke svemirske agencije NASA, kapsula bez posade stigla je kasno sinoć do MSS s nešto više od sat zakašnjenja.

Bilo je planirano da nakon lansiranja iz Kejp Kanaverala na Floridi do destinacije stigne za 24 sata.

U budućnosti Starlajner bi trebalo da se koristi kao taksi za prevoz astronauta.

Prvi pokušaj lansiranja Starlajnera bio je 2019, a misija je u poslednjem trenutku otkazana i 2021.
