Boeing's chance at redemption for its Starliner spacecraft will have to wait for now. The launch attempt scheduled for Tuesday was scrubbed at the last minute, NASA said.
The attempt was scrubbed "due to unexpected valve position indications in the Starliner propulsion system," NASA noted. Further details were not immediately available, but the space agency said the next launch opportunity is 12:57 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
The second test flight for Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft was scheduled to launch from the Florida coast on Tuesday afternoon before it was called off. This comes on the heels of last week's launch attempt also being scrubbed due to an unplanned thruster-firing incident on the International Space Station.
