Boeing aims for Starliner's first crewed launch on June 1 as investigation into helium leak continues

Reported 5 months ago

Boeing is aiming for a June 1 launch of its Starliner spacecraft with a crew aboard, delayed due to a helium leak in the propulsion system. The leak, traced to a valve component, has prompted NASA and Boeing to conduct further tests and investigations into the spacecraft's propulsion system. The mission, carrying NASA astronauts, is a critical step before certifying Starliner for regular trips to the International Space Station, with additional launch opportunities on June 2, 5, and 6 available if needed.
