Starliner

One of the engines failed, but it was in a different section than the one that caused problems during the outbound flight. Fortunately, there were no consequences.

The sound has now ceased, allowing the spacecraft to continue with its plans to return to Earth empty on Friday.

Boeing has received approval from NASA to proceed with the undocking and autonomous return of the spacecraft.

The origin of the sounds on the stranded spaceship is still unclear.

The company has already lost $1.6 billion on it, with more losses expected in the future.

The astronauts on Boeing's Starliner, originally scheduled for a 10-day mission, have been on the International Space Station for two months now.

NASA has stated behind closed doors that it hasn’t yet made a final decision.

Many expect that the project will continue to lose money for several more months.

Engineers discovered the fifth helium leak after the spacecraft had already docked at the International Space Station.

Starliner’s test flight to the International Space Station became tense due to three helium leaks and the failure of five RCS system thrusters.

NASA initially authorized the launch of the Starliner with one helium leak, but engineers have since discovered two additional leaks.

If everything goes according to plan, the Starliner will take off from Cape Canaveral on June 1.
