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 Leaks After years of delays and technical problems, Boeing’s Starliner finally made it to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on board last week. But when exactly it’ll be able to undock and deliver its crew of two back to the surface remains to be seen. Teams have […]
