NASA postpones do-over test launch of Boeing Starliner to orbit
The Peninsula
NASA and Boeing have postponed an attempt to launch the company's CST-100 Starliner capsule to the International Space Station as planned on Friday after Russian cosmonauts aboard the orbital outpost reported a problem with a newly docked module.
The Starliner launch delay was announced by NASA on Thursday, a day before the Starliner was due for blastoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop a Boeing Lockheed Martin Corp Atlas V rocket. A previous uncrewed Starliner test launch to orbit in 2019 ended with a nearly catastrophic failure of the spacecraft to dock with the space station.More Related News
