Boeing Starliner overcomes thruster problems to dock with ISS

Reported 6 months ago

Boeing's Starliner capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station after dealing with unexpected challenges caused by thruster malfunctions and helium leaks. The first crew aboard the spaceship, named 'Calypso,' managed to resolve the issues and enter the ISS despite a delayed docking due to the thruster malfunction. The teams are now working to understand the problems that arose during the flight, as Starliner aims to become certified for regular trips to the ISS, a role currently held by SpaceX. Despite facing leaks and thruster troubles, the mission marks a significant step for Boeing's Commercial Crew Program.
