#Boeing #Starliner #nasa #iss #SMH Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, docked at the International Space Station (ISS) with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, faces further delays returning to Earth due to issues with its thrusters and helium leaks. Originally set to return on June 14 and later delayed to June 22, the new expected return date is June 26. NASA and Boeing are working to resolve five helium leaks in the propeller system and problems with several thrusters. Despite the setbacks, NASA ensures that the crew has ample reserves and can remain safely docked for up to 45 days. If the issues are not resolved, there is speculation that SpaceX may be called upon for a potential rescue mission. The Starliner, which launched on June 5, has experienced multiple challenges, including leaks and thruster malfunctions, both before and during its mission. Despite these issues, Boeing remains hopeful for a successful return and has six more crewed flights planned under its NASA contract. The spacecraft is scheduled to undock from the ISS on June 25 and land in the southwestern United States on June 26.
