NASA answers all of your questions on the troubled Starliner mission

NASA has updated an FAQ page on its website with the latest information on the state of Boeing Space’s beleaguered Starliner mission.

With so much speculation surrounding the state of the spacecraft, the page offers a definitive guide on where the mission is at right now.

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft launched to the International Space Station (ISS) in early June on the vehicle’s first crewed flight. But as it approached the ISS, some of the spacecraft’s thrusters failed to work as expected, and a number of leaks in the Starliner’s helium system were also observed.

Despite the difficulties, the Starliner successfully docked with the ISS. But there are concerns that the thruster issues could present challenges for the Starliner on its return journey as they play a key role in accurately guiding the vehicle toward its reentry point into Earth’s atmosphere.

Engineering teams at NASA and Boeing are still carrying out thruster tests and in-depth data reviews to try to get a clearer understanding of the state of the Starliner.

The mission was only supposed to last about 10 days, but the Starliner remains docked at the ISS. The mission’s two astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, are now living and working aboard the ISS as engineers try to determine if the Starliner is safe to bring the pair home, or whether they will have to wait until February of next year for a ride back on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

The space agency said it’s now planning to conduct two reviews — a Program Control Board and an Agency Flight Readiness Review — before making a final decision on how to safely return Williams and Wilmore from the orbital outpost. NASA is expected to announce a plan by the end of August.

The comprehensive FAQ page offers information on subjects such as the mission and the delay, the two NASA astronauts that rode on the Starliner, and the return options.

On the matter of whether Williams and Wilmore are “stuck” on the ISS, as has been reported by some news outlets, NASA says: “No, Butch and Suni are safe aboard the space station, working alongside the Expedition 71 crew.”

Now the Starliner is making a weird noise

Boeing Space's Starliner docked at the International Space Station in June 2024.

Things have been difficult for the Starliner. Now they’ve become just plain weird.

The spacecraft is making a strange noise and no one knows why.

NASA reveals date for attempted return flight of troubled Starliner

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft docked at the space station.

NASA is targeting Friday, September 6, for the return flight of Boeing Space’s troubled Starliner spacecraft, the agency revealed on Thursday.

The vehicle will come home from the International Space Station (ISS) nearly three months later than originally planned and without the crew that it arrived with. The flight, the outcome of which could determine the Starliner’s future, is expected to take about six hours, NASA said in a blog post on Thursday.

NASA to announce decision about stuck Starliner astronauts tomorrow

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft that launched NASA’s Crew Flight Test astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station is pictured docked to the Harmony module’s forward port on Wednesday, July 3, 2024.

NASA is holding a press conference Saturday, August 24, to announce a decision on how to bring home two astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station.

After been more than two months since the Boeing Starliner launched on what was supposed to be a one-week mission. Following both helium leaks (which were known about before the launch) and problems with the thrusters (which weren't), the Starliner's two test pilots -- NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams -- have stayed aboard the International Space Station as NASA and Boeing officials assess if and when it will be safe for them to travel back to Earth.
