Commercial Crew

For the first time since arriving at the International Space Station on June 6, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams spoke to the media.

NASA and Boeing representatives on Friday said the crew will not return until additional testing, which may take weeks, is complete.

Starliner’s crew flight test (CFT) is the first time the capsule has carried humans and is intended to be its final mission before NASA moves to certify it for service.

The semireusable space capsule has a new launch target after yet another issue postponed its first crewed flight to Wednesday at the earliest.

Starliner crews are contending with what NASA describes as a ‘design vulnerability’ that could prevent the spacecraft from performing a deorbit burn.

The postponement marks the fifth delay to the long-awaited mission, which would be the first time humans have flown on Starliner.

SpaceX reveals its first-generation extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits, designed to be worn in the vacuum of space as well as the confines of a spacecraft.

NASA intends to deploy the reusable capsule for crew rotation missions to the International Space Station, but the program has been marred by delays.

The agency’s seventh Commercial Crew rotation mission successfully docked with the orbital laboratory Sunday.
