Boeing Astronauts Send Space

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are experiencing an extended mission due to technical difficulties with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Initially scheduled for an eight-day mission, the astronauts are now facing an uncertain return timeline. Problems with Starliner's thruster...

Indian-origin Sunita Williams has said she is looking forward to meeting the Indian astronauts who will fly to the International Space Station (ISS).

Boeing is poised to send the first Starliner space capsule with a crew of humans into orbit next week, giving it a long-delayed chance to score a badly needed win as it struggles to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX.

Boeing's new astronaut capsule failed after liftoff on Friday to climb high enough in orbit to reach the International Space Station, cutting short a critical unmanned test mission in the embattled aerospace giant's race to send humans to the orbital outpost.

Boeing Co's new astronaut capsule on Friday failed to reach the orbit of the International Space Station, US space agency NASA said, cutting short a critical unmanned test mission in the embattled aerospace giant's race to send humans to the station.

SpaceX and Boeing are the two main contractors selected under NASA's Commercial Crew Program to send astronauts to space as soon as 2019.

The US space agency has ordered a sweeping safety review of operations and workplace culture, including drug-free policies, at Boeing and SpaceX, two companies working to send astronauts to space, US media said Tuesday.

The announcement was a formal step in a process that began earlier this year when Boeing was given the nod by Nasa to send crew to the orbiting outpost by late 2017.
