Starliner Launch Delayed Again: New Date for Sunita Williams’ Flight Announced
The latest postponement will give more time “to finalize next steps that address a stable helium leak”, NASA said.
In Short
- The launch was earlier postponed to May 21
- The Starliner will lift off on its maiden human test flight
- Starliner program is aimed at providing Nasa with a second US spacecraft
Nasa and Boeing have postponed the highly anticipated launch of the Starliner crew capsule for the fourth time, pushing back the liftoff by four days to address a persistent helium leak issue.
Boeing completed an uncrewed Starliner trip to the orbiting laboratory in 2022
The launch, earlier postponed to May 21, is now targeted for no earlier than Saturday, May 25, from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The Starliner will lift off on its maiden human test flight at 12:39â€ïam on Saturday.
