Updated NASA said Boeing could fly again – called Starliner’s – disaster capsule, but it was not before the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026.
The CST-100 Starliner capsule returned to Earth with his tail between his legs last year. It was the first crew of the capsule, but the flight was dealing with problems, including problems with pushers. The executives finally decided to leave the most safe action style at the International Space Station (ISS).
The vehicle made a successful landing without a crew, and since then NASA and Boeing tried to understand what was going wrong and how to correct it.
In accordance with According to NASA, more than 70 percent of flight observations and flight anomalies “were closed. However, the space agency said, “The anomalies in the major flight in orbit are expected to remain open to 2025.”
Neither nasa nor boeing Record “More than 70 percent” actually what it is. Maybe the sticky cup holders?
The most astonishing issues in the crew of June were related to the pushers and leaking helium seals. NASA and Boeing are planning a test campaign that will involve the firing of key star slopes in a single service module during spring and summer.
“Doghouse” is maintained for Starliner’s react control system (RCS) in the service module.
Engineers plan to use the test to verify the thermal models and verify the upgrades to the system. An upgrade will include adding thermal barriers to the dog hut to better regulate temperatures. In -flight repulsive pulse profiles will also be adjusted to prevent overheating.
A few new helium systems seal options are also tested to reduce the risk of future leaks.
All this is for the crew certificate of the CST-100 Starliner system. NASA said: “Mission executives plan the next Starliner flight to be a talented certificate after a talented certificate, and NASA has only the ability to fly cargo depending on the needs of the agency.”
We asked NASA and Boeing to tell exactly who would pay for the next flight.
If the managers are working on the assumption that the next task will be after the certificate, there is no other test flight to be requested unless something happens during the test. The program already cost Boeing more than $ 2 billion, and the Aviation giant Beancounters will want to stop the cash flow. ®

NASA and Boeing both answered Records Questions.
Boeing told us that it is nothing else to share it right now. A NASA spokesman directed us to Boeing for a list of flight abnormalities because it is “spacecraft”.
NASA spokesman, “When it comes to the next flight, there are a number of elements to be decided before the details of the flight are arranged. Steve Stich [Program Manager for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program] Without a crew or just cargo transportation, the crew said it would include a special spacecraft.
“This means that the spacecraft will start with active systems that will be needed for the crew task. Astronauts have not yet been decided whether or not it will enter the ship and there is no definite timeline.
“Teams continue to work on the certificate and we will publish more information about it as it develops.”
