NASA working to ‘correct and rectify’ Boeing Starliner issues after 1st test flight with astronauts

Nearly two months after Boeing’s Starliner returned to Earth without its astronauts, NASA is still working on the issues that complicated the spacecraft’s first crewed test flight, agency officials said on Friday (Oct. 25).

Starliner’s Crew Flight Test (CFT) concluded on Sept. 6, with the capsule touching down in New Mexico autonomously. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to be on board, but Starliner’s propulsion issues made a crewed return to Earth too risky, the agency has said.
