Starliner

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has encountered major setbacks following its first human-crewed mission to the ISS. Technical failures, including engine malfunctions, prompted NASA to use SpaceX's Crew Dragon for astronaut transport. This incident adds to Boeing's history of safety concerns, particularly following the 737 Max crashes. As Boeing striv...

Recent discussions among space experts reveal a concerning gap in the US's capability for in-space rescues. With human spaceflight becoming increasingly common, the absence of a dedicated rescue service raises significant safety concerns. The recent challenges faced by Boeing's Starliner highlight the need for immediate action. Experts suggest that...

The Boeing Starliner lifted off the International Space Station in June with NASA's veteran astronauts, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, the mission was intended to last for eight days but a technical failure delayed the astronauts' return.

SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission successfully arrived at the International Space Station on September 29, 2024, after a one-day orbital journey. The Crew Dragon capsule, named Freedom, carried NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. This mission is significant, not only for being the first human spaceflight launched from Space ...

The SpaceX crew that will ferry back two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station docked with the orbiting laboratory Sunday, a live stream of the mission showed.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams has taken command of the International Space Station (ISS) for the second time, following her leadership in 2012 during Expedition 33. She, along with fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore, has been aboard the station since June 2024. Initially planned for just eight days, their mission has been extended until February 2025 ...

ISRO’s Gaganyaan mission, India’s first human space mission, is set for launch by the end of this year. However, ISRO Chairman S Somanath emphasised a cautious approach, reflecting on NASA's recent Boeing Starliner incident where technical issues delayed astronauts' return to Earth. Astronauts Sunitha Williams and Butch Wilmore are now expected...

Although Gaganyaan is ready for launch by the end of the year, we should proceed with caution, said Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S Somanath on Friday.

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, astronauts aboard Boeing’s Starliner, were initially set for a short mission but are now staying at the International Space Station (ISS) until February 2025. The extension is due to technical issues with the spacecraft, including thruster failures and helium leaks. Both astronauts are adapting well to life in s...

Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams and her fellow NASA colleague Butch Wilmore, who took off aboard Boeing's Starliner on June 5, are stuck in space till February 2025.

A US astronaut stuck on the International Space Station said Friday he believed Boeing's Starliner could have carried him home if more time had been available to work through the beleaguered spacecraft's issues.

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft successfully completed its three-month mission to the International Space Station, landing safely at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The mission, originally scheduled for ten days, was extended due to thruster issues. NASA confirmed that the landing was safe, and astronauts would have been unharmed had they ...

Two NASA astronauts aboard Boeing's Starliner will stay on the International Space Station for months because of a faulty propulsion system whose problems included helium leaks.

Boeing's beleaguered Starliner returned to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) without astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry E Wilmore.

Boeing's beleaguered Starliner left the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, bound for Earth without the astronauts who rode up on the spaceship after NASA deemed the risk too great.
