NASA has already postponed the first manned flight of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, whose destination is the International Space Station ( ISS<\/em> ). This delay was due to the detection of “unusual and anomalous behavior” in the liquid oxygen tank of the Centaur upper stage of the ULA Atlas V rocket.<\/p>\n\n

The technical failures that delayed Boeing’s Starliner<\/h2>\n\n

The mission is scheduled for next May 17<\/strong> . However, a NASA contractor has warned of potential serious problems with the Atlas V rocket. The president of aerospace company ValveTech, Erin Faville, has issued a statement, indicating their position as key NASA partners and valve experts, strongly recommend “not proceeding with the second launch attempt.”<\/strong>or” due to the potential risk of disaster on the launch pad.<\/p>\n\n

Also other reports indicated that a technician who was near the Starliner heard a humming noise that suggested a leak in a valve shortly before launch, which could indicate that the valve has exceeded its useful life.<\/p>\n\n

Later in the statement, Faville emphasized the need for NASA to step up safety controls and review safety protocols<\/strong> to ensure the Starliner is completely safe. In this way, any catastrophic event that puts the physical integrity of astronauts and other personnel at risk can be prevented.<\/p>\n\n

One of the reasons for the delay<\/strong> of the first manned Starliner flight originated when NASA<\/a><\/strong> and Boeing decided to postpone the launch to two hours from its schedule at the Kennedy Space Center. The US space agency reported that United Launch Alliance<\/strong> decided to replace the pressure regulation valve because it “exceeded its rating.”<\/p>\n\n

NASA supervision and certification<\/h2>\n\n

As planned, if the Starliner flight had taken place, it would have docked at the ISS, allowing the astronauts to remain in the orbital laboratory for about a week<\/strong> , before returning to the southwestern United States, where the ship would land using a parachute system. . However, NASA maintains its Starliner inspection and final certification processes for future space missions.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, after the postponement, NASA has announced in the same statement that the manned flight of the Starliner is rescheduled for next Friday, May 17<\/strong> at 0:16 Spanish peninsular time, bound for the International Space Station.<\/p>\n\n
