NASA, Boeing push back Starliner's crewed return to June 18
) said they expect to bring Starliner and its first astronaut crew back to Earth from the International Space Station as soon as June 18, later than previously scheduled as mission analysts examine issues that could affect its return.
In scheduling Starliner's return, NASA officials in Houston are juggling various factors: fixes to faulty components on Starliner, weather conditions, and ISS scheduling matters such as spacewalks by other astronauts aboard the station. More changes to Starliner's return date could be announced during its mission.
Dina Contella, NASA's deputy program manager for the ISS, told reporters on Tuesday that NASA had detected a new issue on Starliner while it remained docked to the station - a"sticky" oxidizer valve. During that flight, five of its 28 maneuvering thrusters went dead, but NASA and Boeing were able to regain four of them before docking to the orbital laboratory.Scan QR code to install app
