Boeing: NASA Reviews Boeing Starliner's Future Amid Technical Challenges

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft remains under evaluation following its troubled Crew Flight Test mission. NASA is investigating propulsion issues, including helium leaks and overheating thrusters, with testing set to take place at White Sands. Whether the next flight will carry astronauts is still undecided. NASA aims to certify Starliner for long-duration missions, but the timeline remains uncertain. The importance of having multiple crewed transport options is emphasised, ensuring redundancy for future low Earth orbit missions.
