Boeing's Starliner return to Earth postponed, NASA says no new date set - Channel News Asia

Quick Summary:

:Boeing Starliner's return to Earth from the International Space Station with its first crew of astronauts has been postponed, NASA said on Friday.

That could mean at least 12 of the 28 thrusters - most of which are backups - are required for a safe flight, or potentially fewer, as long as the remaining thrusters have one backup and can work together in a way that doesn't restrict Starliner's freedom of movement in space.

NASA officials have said they want to better understand the cause of the thruster failures, valve issue and helium leaks before Starliner embarks on its roughly six-hour return journey.
