NASA extends Starliner mission for astronauts on ISS, insisting ‘they are not stranded in space’
NASA says there's no set return date for two Boeing Starliner crew as NASA and Boeing investigates issues with the craft seen during docking.
NASA doesn’t have a return date yet for astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams who flew aboard a Boeing Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station on June 5, during which several helium leaks and thruster issues were identified. “I want to reiterate, also, that Starliner remains available in cases of an emergency or contingency on the space station where the crew would have to return very quickly back to Earth,” Stich stressed. While continuing to emphasize that Starliner is fit for flight, Stich did acknowledge that NASA and Boeing want to better understand the problems with the helium leak and thrusters before committing to a return date.
