Boeing's space capsule encounters propulsion issues on its inaugural crewed test flight to the International Space Station

Reported 6 months ago

During Boeing's first test flight to the International Space Station with astronauts, the company's Starliner capsule faced helium leaks, thruster problems, and docking delays. Despite the challenges, NASA test pilots successfully docked the capsule and entered the space station. Boeing plans to keep the Starliner at the station for at least eight days before guiding it back to Earth. The propulsion issues encountered were deemed manageable, and no safety concerns were raised for the astronauts or the mission.
