The first astronaut mission of Boeing’s Starliner capsule has been extended again. Starliner will remain docked with the International Space Station (ISS) until at least July 2, roughly a week later than the previously stated target date of June 26. The extra time will allow Boeing and NASA more time to assess several issues that […]
Boeing’s Starliner capsule continues to get a thorough going-over during its first-ever astronaut mission. Starliner launched on June 5, carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station (ISS) on a shakeout cruise known as Crew Flight Test (CFT). The Boeing CFT mission was originally supposed to stay docked to the […]
Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is experiencing five “small” helium leaks as its first astronaut-crewed flight test continues, the aerospace company and NASA said in an update on Monday. While a major milestone was reached when Starliner successfully docked and delivered two NASA astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) on June 6, the leaks mark the […]
When NASA astronauts tried to dock Boeing’s first crewed Starliner spacecraft at the International Space Station Thursday (June 6), they had to wait. Five aft thrusters on the Starliner service module were out. And that was after flight controllers found workarounds for two new helium leaks on the spacecraft on top of one it already […]
After the successful launch of the first astronaut-crewed test flight aboard Boeing’s Starliner, new problems have been discovered, according to NASA. Three helium leaks developed as Starliner made its way to the International Space Station (ISS), according to a post on the social platform X from the agency’s Johnson Space Center late Wednesday. One of […]
Boeing’s space capsule has developed more leaks during its first test flight with astronauts as it closed in on the International Space Station. The Starliner capsule already had one small helium leak when it rocketed into orbit on Wednesday. Boeing and Nasa managers were confident they could manage the propulsion system despite the problem and […]
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Boeing’s space capsule developed more leaks during its first test flight with astronauts as it closed in on the International Space Station on Thursday. The Starliner capsule already had one small helium leak when it rocketed into orbit Wednesday. Boeing and NASA managers were confident they could manage the propulsion […]
After a successful launch that was a decade in the making, Boeing’s Starliner mission is navigating new issues en route to the International Space Station, according to NASA. The space agency said late Wednesday in a post on X that two additional helium leaks had been detected on the vehicle. One helium leak had been […]

Starliner is still set to fly on its historic first flight with astronauts on June 1, but that could change as the team works through “complicated” issues following a small helium leak. NASA and Boeing officials emphasized they are carefully weighing the decision to launch Starliner‘s first test mission with astronauts to the International Space […]
After nearly three weeks of exhaustive tests and data analysis, NASA managers said Friday they are confident Boeing’s oft-delayed Starliner crew capsule can safely launch “as is” on June 1, saying a small helium leak in the ship’s propulsion system does not pose a flight safety concern. Steve Stich, manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, […]
(Reuters) -NASA again delayed Boeing’s debut crewed flight of its Starliner capsule on Tuesday so engineers can spend more time evaluating a helium leak in the spacecraft’s propulsion system, the agency said in a statement. The launch, previously set for May 25, is now on hold, with the next possible launch date under discussion, the […]
