Boeing Starliner launch to space station on extended hold after valve problem

Boeing Starliner launch to space station on extended hold after valve problem By William Harwood August 3, 2021 / 10:15 PM / CBS News The launch of Boeing s Starliner crew capsule on an unpiloted test flight to the International Space Station, a critical stepping stone before astronaut ferry flights can begin, was scrubbed Tuesday because of suspect valves in the capsule s propulsion system. After troubleshooting, mission managers decided to haul the spacecraft, perched atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket, off the launch pad and back to a processing facility for more extensive inspections to understand why instrumentation readings did not match the actual positions of multiple valves.

NASA and Boeing postpone Starliner launch after new glitch

Boeing Co scrubbed the launch of its CST-100 Starliner to the International Space Station on Tuesday due to a system glitch, a fresh setback for the US aerospace company following the vehicle s botched 2019 debut. Boeing engineers ruled out a number of potential causes, including software, but were still working to understand the source of unexpected valve position indications in the propulsion system, Boeing said in a statement Tuesday evening. Additional time is needed to complete the assessment, Boeing said, adding that it would also not proceed with the next potential launch window on Wednesday. The delay of Tuesday s uncrewed test flight throws into question the timing of Boeing s follow-on mission with a crew onboard, which Boeing has said would take place no earlier than December.
