NASA postpones decision on Starliner return
Posted: Sun, Aug 18, 2024, 11:50 AM ET (1550 GMT)
NASA has delayed until late August a decision on Starliner's return from the International Space Station. At a briefing Wednesday, agency officials said they are continuing to study whether to have Starliner return to Earth with astronauts on board as they examine problems with the spacecraft's thrusters experienced during its approach to the station in June. NASA previously said it would make a decision in mid-August, but now expects to reach a decision late next week or early the following week. If NASA elects to return Starliner uncrewed, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will remain on the station until early next year, returning on the Crew-9 Crew Dragon launching next month.
