After helium leaks and thruster problems with Boeing's Starliner capsule, NASA has been pushing back the return date from the International Space Station.
"We are taking our time and following our standard mission management team process," said Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program"We are letting the data drive our decision making relative to managing the small helium system leaks and thruster performance we observed during rendezvous and docking.
After making 61 corrective actions recommended by NASA, another attempt was made on May 22nd, 2022. That flight successfully docked to the ISS, staying there for four days before undocking and landing in the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Stich said that despite all the issues, Starliner is performing well in orbit while docked to the space station.
