Next Crewed Boeing Starliner Flight Pushed to 2028
Original: Next Crewed Boeing Starliner Flight Not Until 2028
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is not expected to carry astronauts again until 2028, according to a new report on the troubled crew capsule program. The timeline represents a lengthy delay following Starliner's earlier crewed test flight, which left its first astronauts on the International Space Station due to thruster problems. The extended gap raises fresh questions about Boeing's role in NASA's commercial crew program as SpaceX continues ferrying crews.
Why now: Reports of the 2028 timeline mark a major setback for Boeing's crewed spaceflight ambitions and NASA's plans for a second commercial crew provider.
