“Starliner uses a power conversion unit supplied by Orbita CJSC in Voronezh, Russia. It allows Starliner to receive power from the ISS when it is docked to it, ”said Boeing's space division on Twitter.
It is noted that this converter has been used on the ISS for 20 years.
For use in Starliner, its mass has been reduced. The converter was chosen due to its reliability.
