Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is undergoing an extended mission at the International Space Station (ISS), a significant development for its first-ever astronaut mission. Initially planned to last just over a week, Starliner’s stay in orbit is now anticipated to continue well beyond its original 45-day mission limit, according to recent NASA updates. This comes amidst ongoing analyses and testing prompted by technical issues encountered shortly before and during its docking at the ISS. Starliner launched on June 5, 2024, marking a pivotal moment for Boeing and NASA. This mission, known as the Crew Flight Test (CFT), is Starliner’s first manned mission following two prior uncrewed flights. It carries NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, both seasoned test pilots with extensive experience in evaluating new spacecraft systems.
The capsule successfully docked with the ISS on June 6, despite initial challenges that necessitated a brief delay and reattempt. These difficulties were primarily associated with the Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters, where several malfunctioned during the docking process. Furthermore, helium leaks were detected within the capsule, adding to the complications faced by the crew and ground control teams. Efforts to identify and resolve the issues with Starliner’s RCS thrusters are continuing. You know, the spacecraft has 28 thrusters in total, with five showing inconsistent behavior during the docking phase.
