Saga Starliner may not end even with failed testing flights, which allow the crew in space. But NASA still does not give up on the bad spacecraft of Boeing Starliner. It may be given the opportunity to transport astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
During the letter on Wednesday, NASA officials revealed that they were looking for the launch of the Starliner Starliner flight tests again before certifying vehicles for normal sailors. “What we want to do is one flight and enter the flight to rotate the crew.” Steve Stich Project Manager NASA Commercial Crew, SARS, Accing to to space– “Therefore, the next flight will test all the changes that we do with the vehicle, and then the next fight, we must be rotated into a crew, so that is the strategy.”
Boeing Starliner Launched to the International Space Station on June 5Holding the astronauts of NASA, Bunchwilor and Suniwiliams for the first boat testing flight of the spacecraft. However, things are not smooth. The five spacecraft drives failed on the way to the International Space Station.And Starliner Back home is empty. After NASA considered it, it was not suitable to fly the crew back to the world. Space agencies occur with Nifty plans to return astronauts from space. By riding a horse up to the vehicle Spacex Dragon
The upcoming Starliner test flight will check that the space drive is working correctly in space after changing the driving system for abnormal operations. Boeing is planning the basic testing system of this summer driving system to check the amendment of the flight company that follows the International Space Station will demonstrate the ability of the spacecraft to work in a difficult space environment. When the change has been found, NASA hopes to combine the Starliner spacecraft in the crew's mission – one of them is dominated (although “monopolize” may be better) – at Spacex and Space Dragon Cruise.
NASA won the Boeing and Spacex contract in 2014, which is part of the commercial crew project of the space agency to develop a spacecraft that can carry the crew and products to the International Space Station. Until now, Boeing has not ended. $ 4.3 billion Commercial crew program Contract with NASA, while the Spacex competition fly 10 teams to the international space station and
Starliner's crew test should be the last time before being certified to transport the crew to the problem regularly with the Spacex, but the flight that is not stimulated for NASA to slow down the next CST-100 Starliner's CST-100 Starliner to fly to the International Space Station. The space agency hopes that Starliner will launch the first crew mission in early 2025. It is obvious that NASA has knocked on SPACEX, a more reliable commercial partner to launch the creation on March 12, the SPACEX of the SPACEX is used to draw the SETARLINER pilots from the Station.
Despite the Lost Flights of Starliner, NASA is still willing to give commercial opportunities to take astronauts and return from problems so that two private vehicles can be an option instead of the only one.
