Boeing Starliner Delays Continue: Crewed Flight Test To Occur No Earlier Than May 17, Says NASA
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Boeing Co's (NYSE:BA) first crewed flight test of the Starliner spacecraft to the ISS is delayed to no earlier than May 17, due to an issue with the Atlas V rocket. United Launch Alliance will replace a faulty valve, with the launch now set for 6:16 p.m. EDT, May 17. This delay follows several postponements since the spacecraft's initial uncrewed test flight was planned in 2015. Success in the upcoming test could position Boeing alongside SpaceX as a private company shuttling astronauts to the ISS for NASA.
