Early Tuesday, NASA said the launch, which was expected to carry two astronauts to the International Space Station , would be rescheduled to “no earlier than Friday, May 10.”
Boeing began developing Starliner in 2014 after winning a $6.8 billion NASA contract along with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station. Since then, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule has flown nine crewed flights for NASA and four flights with private astronauts, while Boeing has failed to keep up.Boeing's first attempt to reach the ISS was unsuccessful after its onboard clock was set incorrectly, causing the computer to fire the capsule’s engines prematurely.
Altemus said that the push to move faster and be more flexible has put smaller companies like Intuitive in the driver’s seat. NASA has already awarded the company more than $100 million to develop an end-to-end lunar delivery service in addition to developing the lunar terrain vehicle. After years of delays, Boeing’s Starliner is finally ready to fly NASA astronauts on a landmark test mission. Here’s what you should know about the historic launch.
