NASA and Boeing to Update Starliner Capsule Development

NASA and Boeing have announced a press conference for Monday, September 28, at 3 p.m. EDT (9 p.m. CEST) to provide an update on the development of the Starliner spacecraft. The primary objective of this session will be to discuss future plans for regular crew flights to and from the International Space Station (ISS) using this capsule. This update is crucial for NASA's commercial crew program, which aims to diversify access to the orbital laboratory.

The Starliner capsule, developed by Boeing, is one of two vehicles selected by NASA to transport astronauts to the ISS, alongside SpaceX's Crew Dragon. The program has faced several technical challenges and delays in its development and testing. This conference will offer details on recent progress, solutions implemented to address previous issues, and the estimated timeline for operational crewed missions, allowing for an assessment of progress towards full certification and operability of the spacecraft.
