Boeing says its future in space is in national security and defense, focusing all of its investment in this area as it works to get Starliner on track.
NASA and Boeing are continuing work toward another uncrewed flight test of the CST-100 Starliner with a cargo run to the International Space Station within the next year.
The Starliner flight team’s response averted potential disaster, but the Crew Flight Test was reclassified as a major mishap, NASA Administrator Isaacman says.
NASA says it wants to stick with the Boeing CST-100 Starliner to give the space agency options in case the SpaceX Dragon system were to encounter problems.
The returning astronauts included the Boeing CST-100 Starliner extended Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission’s Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams.
The Boeing CST-100 Starliner may not return to flight this year as the OEM and NASA work to address the issues exposed in last year's troubled crew flight test.
