Boeing says Starliner «mission is going well» — despite two astronauts stuck on ISS
Boeing’s first commercial spacecraft, the Starliner, remains on the International Space Station with no confirmed return date. Boeing is currently conducting damage control.
The Boeing Starliner spacecraft launched for the first time with astronauts on board. But during the flight, a helium leak was discovered again
After almost 20 years of planning, development, testing and delays, the Boeing Starliner spacecraft made its first manned launch and sent astronauts to the ISS as part of the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission. The launch of the Atlas V rocket with the Starliner capsule took place on June 5 at 17:52 Kyiv time.
Starliner did not take off: the first manned flight of the Boeing spacecraft was canceled due to problems with the oxygen valve
The next launch attempt may be scheduled for Friday, but delays have become typical for the mission due to ongoing problems with the spacecraft’s design.
