NASA and Boeing need more time to make sure a helium leak on its CST-100 Starliner is low enough risk to send humans into space. So the launch of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams has now been pushed to May 25 targeting a 3:09 p.
NASA, Boeing, and United Launch Alliance (ULA) teams will take additional time to complete the spacecraft closeout processes and finalize flight rationale before launching the Boeing Starliner crew capsule.
After several delays, NASA has announced a new targeted day for the first crewed Starliner launch. According to NASA Commercial Crew, the new Starliner launch is now targeted for no earlier than May 25 at 3:09 p.
The target date for the highly anticipated inaugural crewed mission of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has moved yet again. Starliner’s first flight carrying astronauts was expected as soon as May 21 after two previous delays this month,
