The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced on Wednesday it has postponed the test flight of The Boeing Company's Starliner first crewed mission, the Boeing Cr
Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft was scheduled to launch tonight to get certification. The mission was scrubbed for today. Atlas valve issue. Launch of the ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket and Starliner spacecraft is targeted for 10:34 p.m. EDT Monday, May 6 (0234 UTC Tuesday, May 7) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space
Two Nasa astronauts are due to set off to the International Space Station in a new spacecraft in the early hours of Tuesday morning UK time.
Watch along today as NASA's Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test finally — most likely — blasts off to the International Space Station (ISS). NASA should start streaming its coverage at 6:30PM ET on its YouTube channel, with the official launch set for 10:34PM ET. The spacecraft will carry two astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. We say "most likely" because the road to this day has not been a smooth one. It was a decade ago that NASA first chose Boeing and Space X to construct spacecraft...
The launch is a jointly planned event between Boeing and NASA, and was originally scheduled for Monday, May 6, at 10:34 pm EDT, 7:34 PDT. The launch was scrubbed at 8:34pm EDT, though, due to a propellant valve issue in the Atlas V rocket that was set to take the spacecraft to orbit. The launch will be rescheduled. When it is, you can watch the livestream of the launch a few ways. It will stream on NASA’s official website and YouTube channel, as well as on NASA+, the agency’s subscription...
A faulty valve forced NASA to scrub Monday's launch, but it's possible Starliner could make it to space later this week.
Boeing’s Starliner launch tonight has been postponed “out of an abundance of caution” scarcely two hours before the historic liftoff. The scrub is reportedly due to an issue with the oxygen relief valve on the Atlas V rocket’s upper stage. There are backup launch opportunities on May 7, 10 and 11.

The first launch of astronauts aboard Boeing's Starliner capsule is now set for May 21.
First crewed space flight of Boeing's Starliner was postponed shortly before lift-off due to glitch.
Two Nasa astronauts are due to head for the International Space Station aboard a new spacecraft, the BBC reports. Boeing’s Starliner will blast off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, in its first crewed test flight. The mission has been delayed for several years because of setbacks in the spacecraft’s development. If it is successful, it …
When NASA needed a new manned space capsule to ferry crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS), it seemed like a good idea to go with two contractors to build two different spacecraft. Competition is good and, when it comes to manned space flight, so is redundancy.
Boeing Starliner’s CFT (crewed flight test) is delayed again. They are now targeting no earlier than May 21st which is a push by another 4 days. There is a helium leak in the spacecraft. Starliner will launch atop a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, on Florida’s Space
