Boeing Starliner Updates Get Green Light from NASA Ahead of Crewed Flight

NASA and Boeing are working together to address several issues that arose during an uncrewed flight of the Starliner spacecraft in June 2024.

The agency will help fund the necessary updates, which are expected to be completed by January 2027.

Once these updates are implemented, the Starliner is set for a crewed flight in 2028.

In addition to addressing the issues with the Starliner itself, NASA will also work on certifying the Vulcan Centaur rocket that will launch the spacecraft on its next mission.
