Boeing’s Starliner Successfully Docks with ISS

Boeing’s Starliner shuttle successfully reached the International Space Station (ISS) after a crewed launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The spacecraft, launched aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas-V rocket, completed its journey in approximately 27 hours.

During the flight, Starliner faced technical issues, including a helium leak and the failure of 4 out of its 28 thrusters. Astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams managed to restart 3 of the malfunctioning thrusters, narrowly missing the initial docking opportunity.

Upon arrival, Wilmore and Williams were greeted by the ISS crew, consisting of 4 American astronauts and 3 Russian cosmonauts.

Ukrainians Protest Anti-Corruption Law

0

The Ukrainian parliament’s passage of a law limiting the powers of anti-corruption institutions sparked widespread protests across the country. Demonstrators in cities like Kyiv, Lviv, and Odessa decried the law as an “authoritarian move” aimed at consolidating President Zelensky’s power.

Zelensky defended the law, citing the need to purge anti-corruption agencies of Russian influence. He stressed the importance of ensuring justice and accountability. Tensions rose after NABU investigated high-profile political cases, leading to raids on anti-corruption offices by security forces. The new law places NABU and SAPO under the Prosecutor General’s Office, allowing greater government control over their activities.
