The launch of the Starliner spacecraft's first crewed flight has been delayed by a further four days, with NASA now targeting May 25 for launch.
NASA had originally aimed to send Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft on its first crewed voyage on May 6 but an issue surfaced with United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V rocket just two hours before liftoff, prompting the launch to be scrubbed.
Recommended Videos NASA revealed a revised targeted launch date of May 17, but this was pushed to May 21 after engineers discovered a “small helium leak” on the Starliner spacecraft that had to be dealt with. It said the extra time would allow it to “further assess a small helium leak in the Boeing Starliner spacecraft’s service module traced to a flange on a single reaction control system thruster.”
