NASA postpones the first mission of the Boeing Starliner crew

The future of the first mission of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft crew remains uncertain. NASA said that the launch scheduled for 25 May has been cancelled, and a new date has not yet been set.

Here's What We Know

Recently, engineers have been working to fix a helium leak in the ship's power system.

The first launch attempt, scheduled for the beginning of the month, was postponed due to a faulty oxygen valve on the ULA Atlas V rocket that was supposed to put the Starliner into orbit.

Delays in Starliner development have a significant impact on future missions. This spacecraft is planned for use in future manned missions to the International Space Station.

The team continues to work to resolve issues and set a new launch date. With the mission, which will carry astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the stakes are high, so it is crucial to thoroughly prepare and troubleshoot all possible faults before launch.
