NASA has announced some adjustments to the launch dates of other missions to the ISS while it continues to work with Boeing to resolve the Starliner issue.
NASA has announced it will delay the targeted launch date of SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station while it continues to work on resolving the situation with the troubled Starliner spacecraft.
Recommended Videos The Crew-9 mission will use a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule to carry NASA astronauts Stephanie Wilson, Zena Cardman, and Nick Hague, along with Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov. It had been targeting August 18 for launch, but liftoff has now been pushed to no earlier than September 24.
The space agency said that Starliner ground teams are “taking their time to analyze the results of recent docked hot-fire testing, finalize flight rationale for the spacecraft’s integrated propulsion system, and confirm system reliability ahead of Starliner’s return to Earth. NASA and Boeing continue to evaluate the spacecraft’s readiness, and no decisions have been made regarding Starliner’s return.
