Boeing’s Starliner to fly NASA astronauts to space on May 10

New Delhi: Boeing stated on Tuesday that it now plans to launch the Starliner's first crewed mission on May 10 following its scrub two hours prior to flight.

On May 7, around 10:34 p.m. ET (02:34 p.m. UTC), the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket's upper stage had a valve problem that caused the liftoff to be delayed.

“The next launch opportunity will be no earlier than Friday, May 10,” the company said in a statement.

“The scrub was recommended after launch control teams detected anomalous behaviour by the pressure regulation valve in the liquid oxygen tank of the Centaur upper stage of the ULA Atlas V launch vehicle,” the company said.

The aerospace company said that its engineers are analysing the data to understand the problem and “determine any corrective actions”.

“Boeing, NASA, and United Launch Alliance have made the decision to allow engineering teams to spend Tuesday, May 7, evaluating the data,” the statement said.

The first manned mission of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aims to carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Indian-Origin Sunita Williams to the space station.
