Two NASA astronauts won’t be returning back from the International Space Station (ISS) for an additional four days, the latest in a series of delays that has marred the Starliner program for years.
Following an iffy docking at the International Space Station last week, Boeing managed to deliver a pair of NASA astronauts to the orbital lab. The stressful Starliner saga continues as the crew capsule developed more leaks in its service module. NASA is currently evaluating its ability to return the duo back to…
After back-to-back failed launch attempts, a crewed Starliner capsule finally launched on Wednesday to deliver two NASA astronauts to low Earth orbit. Boeing is testing its capsule’s ability to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS), with Starliner set to dock to the orbital lab on Thursday.
After two consecutive failed launch attempts, the crewed Starliner capsule successfully launched on Wednesday, June 5, carrying two NASA astronauts to low Earth orbit. Boeing is testing the capsule’s capability to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS), with Starliner docking at the ISS.
Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft developed more helium leaks on its way to the International Space Station (ISS) with a NASA crew on board.
Update: June 5, 11:02 a.m. ET: ULA’s Atlas V rocket blasted off this morning at 10:52 a.m. ET, with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams sitting inside Boeing’s Starliner capsule. The first crewed mission of this spacecraft, following two failed launch attempts, is finally underway. Of course, the true test…
Blue Origin, the company founded by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, has launched an investigation following an incident during its first crewed flight in two years, in which one of the parachutes on the New Shepard capsule failed to fully inflate.
NASA and Boeing set a new date for the first crewed test flight of the Starliner spacecraft despite an unresolved issue with a gas leak that was discovered earlier this month.
It’s deja vu all over again. Boeing’s long-anticipated Starliner mission has been postponed for a second time due to a newly discovered issue with the spacecraft’s service module.
Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse for Boeing’s attempt at launching a crew to orbit, in comes a longstanding industry feud over rocket valves for a shocking third act.
