The mission which was a test flight with astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, was launched on June 5 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Initially planned as an eight-day mission, their stay was indefinitely extended due to helium leaks and thruster failures on the spacecraft
