Starliner to Earth: “We have a problem…”
Starliner, the Boeing spacecraft whose launch was delayed by a helium leak, has now developed four additional helium leaks after docking successfully with the ISS.
They had to delay the docking due to a little problem with thrusters…
Five of the 28 thrusters were not operating but, after troubleshooting, Boeing recovered four of Starliner’s malfunctioning jets and NASA allowed the spacecraft to dock.
So their return to Earth has been delayed so that they can run some more tests.
I sure hope they have built some redundancies to this system. Remember, this is Boeing. QC is not exactly high on their priorities list…
