Boeing's Starliner Spacecraft Faces Challenges
Despite investing $2 billion, Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has experienced significant failures. NASA and Boeing remain committed to getting it back on track.
The head of NASA's commercial crew program, Steve Stich, announced that Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne are making considerable changes to the spacecraft after a disastrous first crewed mission to the International Space Station.
The mission was plagued by "in-flight anomalies," forcing NASA to return the spacecraft to Earth without astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stranded on the ISS for nine months.
- Boeing faces intense competition from SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, which has sent 11 crews to the ISS in the last five years.
Boeing and NASA are working to overcome the challenges facing the Starliner spacecraft.
