Boeing Starliner Updates: Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft has now become a ‘headache’ for NASA. On June 5, this spacecraft left for the ISS (International Space Station) carrying Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams (Sunita Williams News) and Butch Wilmore and got stuck there due to a malfunction. Due to the stuck Starliner, NASA’s upcoming missions are getting delayed. If we believe the media reports NASA Now Starliner is thinking of cancelling the return flight of the spacecraft. This means that Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will return to Earth on another spacecraft.

by Live Science wrote It is said that due to the delay in Starliner, its Crew-9 mission launch has been postponed from 18 August to 24 September. When the astronauts of Crew-9 mission reach the ISS, only then the passengers of Crew-8 mission will come to Earth from there. Crew-9 mission cannot go to ISS until a docking port opens there. Boeing’s Starliner is currently stuck at the docking port where Crew-9 mission has to be attached.

The special thing is that no date has been finalized yet for when Boeing’s spacecraft will return to Earth. NASA engineers are thinking of sending Starliner to Earth without a crew. It is also being thought that both the astronauts of Starliner should be brought to Earth by SpaceX’s vehicle in early 2025. If this happens, then Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will have to stay in space till next year.
