What Is Happening With Boeing’s Starliner Spacecraft?
Boeing’s troubled starliner space capsule left the international space station without its crew and autonomously returned to earth on saturday, landing safely in new. Boeing’s starliner spacecraft has safely exited the direct vicinity of the international space station and the nine astronauts currently on board the orbiting laboratory. The problems are twofold. The spacecraft's reaction control thrusters overheated, and some of them shut off as starliner approached the space station june 6. Boeing's starliner spacecraft was dealt another blow over the weekend when nasa determined that it wasn't fit to bring its crew back home.
This suggests that if boeing can get a return on its investment in starliner, it probably would be inclined to take the money. To date, the company has reported losses of $1. 85 billion on. But it flew home empty.
