Boeing Starliner Crewed Mission Slips to 2028 Amid Technical Delays

NASA has set a new target for the Boeing Starliner's crewed return to space. After several delays, including issues that caused the spacecraft to miss its initial flight in 2024, NASA has announced that the crewed mission is now expected to take place in 2028.

The Boeing Starliner was initially intended to make its first uncrewed flight in July 2022 and a crewed flight by the end of 2023. However, technical issues and delays pushed back those targets, with NASA pushing the crewed mission to 2024.

Despite the setback, NASA has expressed confidence in the Starliner's ability to successfully complete its mission. The agency has been working closely with Boeing to address the issues and ensure that the spacecraft is ready for flight.
