As NASA continues work to find a fix for the thruster issues that have afflicted Boeing's Starliner astronaut taxi, chances ...

NASA has elected to find new sealant material to address helium leaks and explore several hardware changes to deal with what ...

After nearly a year of trying to fix the ill-fated spacecraft, NASA says Starliner is set for a cargo mission in 2026.

That work will include test-firings of Starliner RCS thrusters at NASA's White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico "to validate detailed thermal models and inform potential propulsion and spacecraft ...

Starliner will conduct the test-fire of its 28-thruster reaction control system (RCS) on either Saturday (July 27) or Sunday (July 28) at the International Space Station (ISS), NASA and Boeing ...

IIRC, Starliner departed ISS with almost a full complement of thrusters, as they got all but one of the failed RCS thrusters back on line. At some time during de-orbit, it lost function of one of ...

Concerns about these thrusters prompted NASA to fly Starliner's crew, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, home on a Crew Dragon vehicle instead. They safely landed earlier this month.

On Starliner’s first visit to the ISS in 2022, a similar issue occurred where two RCS thrusters failed. Stich theorized that heat may be causing propellant in the engines’ chambers to vaporize.

The thruster problems Starliner experienced during CFT concerned the RCS hardware: Five of the 28 RCS thrusters conked out during Starliner's approach to the ISS, ...

As it flew up toward the International Space Station last summer, the Starliner spacecraft lost four thrusters. A NASA astronaut, Butch Wilmore, had to take manual control of the vehicle. But as ...

Boeing Starliner could fly again later this year, says NASA Agency describes the flight as a ‘crew-capable post-certification mission’ but acknowledges the possibility of flying without ...
