☆ Boeing’s Starliner set for historic astronaut launch after delays for years
  + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —After years of delays and a dizzying array of setbacks during test flights, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is finally set to make its inaugural crewed launch. “This is history in the making,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said of the upcoming Starliner mission during a March 22 news conference. Missteps riddled a Starliner test flight the prior year, leaving NASA and Boeing officials scrambling to figure out what went wrong. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon has been flying routine trips ever since, carrying NASA astronauts and even paying customers and tourists. On May’s inaugural crewed flight, Boeing will instead use a “perfectly acceptable mitigation” that should prevent the valves from sticking, Nappi said in March.

☆ Investing in Space: Boeing takes backup role in flying NASA astronauts
  + stars: | 2024-03-28 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
CNBC's Investing in Space newsletter offers a view into the business of space exploration and privatization, delivered straight to your inbox. Boeing's Starliner program finally feels close to flying people in space for the first time. It was originally planned to launch this crew flight test in November 2018. On the eve of flying crew, Boeing's messaging is now closer to "NASA wants us as backup and we're not committing beyond that." The additionally unfortunate aspect of this situation is that none of these years of setbacks and cost overruns seem to have lit a fire under Boeing's space management.

☆ Boeing resets Starliner plan to be ready for first NASA crew flight by March

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is seen before docking with the International Space Station on May 20, 2022 during the uncrewed OFT-2 mission. Boeing said Monday it aims to be ready to fly NASA astronauts with its Starliner capsule for the first time by March, resetting its timeline after the company delayed a planned launch this summer. "Based on the current plans, we're anticipating that we're going to be ready with the spacecraft in early March," Boeing VP and Starliner manager Mark Nappi said during a press conference. The company continues to work toward Starliner's crew flight test, which is planned to carry NASA astronauts to the ISS in a final demonstration before beginning regular spaceflights. NASA's Commercial Crew manager Steve Stich said that Starliner is 98% complete in terms of progress toward the agency certifying the spacecraft to carry its astronauts.

☆ Boeing indefinitely delays Starliner astronaut mission for NASA after discovering more issues
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Boeing employees work on the company's Starliner capsule in preparation for the first crew flight test, Jan. 19, 2023. Boeing is further delaying the first crewed launch of its Starliner spacecraft after discovering additional issues with the capsule, the company announced alongside NASA on Thursday. The Starliner crew flight test was most recently scheduled for July 21 and was due to carry a pair of NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. Boeing was once seen as evenly matched with SpaceX in the race to launch NASA astronauts but fell behind due to development setbacks. Nappi on Thursday emphasized Boeing is "still committed" to finishing work on the capsule and flying for NASA.

☆ Boeing and NASA Delay Launch of Starliner Astronaut Spacecraft Again
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Michael Roston | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
To get to and from the space station, NASA currently relies on SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk. But NASA has also hired Boeing to build a capsule, so that one can serve as a backup if something goes wrong with the other. Boeing’s Starliner capsule has flown to orbit twice already with no astronauts aboard. “This is just part of the business to have these kinds of issues.”What’s Next: Boeing and NASA will assess repairs. After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the Starliner capsule returns to Earth gently under three parachutes.

☆ Boeing mission to send astronauts to space station delayed again
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Jackie Wattles | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —More lengthy delays could be in store for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which is designed to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station and compete with SpaceX’s Crew Dragon. Boeing had been working toward a late July launch of the first crewed Starliner test flight. NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita Williams have been assigned to be the first astronauts to fly aboard Starliner. Boeing officials said the crew has been informed of the additional delays. The space agency awarded Boeing a $4.2 billion contract in 2014 for Starliner’s development — nearly twice as much as the $2.6 billion that was given to SpaceX.

Boeing's Starliner craft has docked with the International Space Station for the first time. Docking shows the Starliner is capable of transporting passengers to the space station. An Atlas V rocket carrying the Boeing Starliner spacecraft lifts off from Cape Canaveral on Thursday. Paul Hennessy/Getty ImagesStarliner will stay tethered to the space station with most of its systems powered down until it is ready to undock and return to Earth. We're honored to join the fleet of commercial spacecraft capable of conducting transportation services to the space station for NASA."
