Cape Canaveral (AFP) - Troubled aerospace giant Boeing will try once more to fly its first crew to the International Space Station aboard a Starliner spaceship on Saturday, after the last attempt was scrubbed hours before liftoff. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are "go" for launch atop a United Launch Alliance rocket at 12:25 pm (1625 GMT) from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The pair, both former Navy test pilots with two spaceflights under their belts, exchanged thumbs-up signs and waves with their families as they emerged from the historic Neil A. Armstr...

Boeing's company’s Starliner capsule was due to rocket away at midday with a pair of test pilots to the International Space Station for a weeklong stay. The test drive should have happened years ago. But problems kept piling up, most recently a leak that went unnoticed until the first launch attempt with a crew in early May. NASA wants a backup to SpaceX, which has been flying astronauts for four years. United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket is providing the lift from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Nach jahrelangen Verzögerungen soll das krisengeplagte Raumschiff «Starliner» heute erstmals zu einem bemannten Testflug zur Internationalen Raumstation ISS aufbrechen. Mit den Nasa-Astronauten Barry Wilmore und Suni Williams an Bord soll das Raumschiff vom Weltraumbahnhof Cape Canaveral im US-Bundesstaat Florida starten. Der Start war zuvor mehrfach verschoben worden, auch eine kurzfristige weitere Verschiebung ist nicht ausgeschlossen. Am 2., 5. und 6. Juni gäbe es nach Angaben der US-Raumfahrtbehörde Nasa weitere Startmöglichkeiten. Die Wettervorhersage war den Angaben zufolge zunächst vort...

Aircraft maker Boeing has presented a plan to the United States' Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) laying out steps the company intends to take to ramp up quality and safety controls following an incident in January on one of its 737 airplanes. In a statement on Thursday, Boeing chief executive Dave Calhoun said that the company had taken feedback from employees and independent experts into account for the plan, but did not provide information on the concrete measures that would be taken. The FAA had called on Boeing to submit a plan to improve quality controls after a piece of fuselage bl...

New York (AFP) - Boeing has committed to enhanced safety protocols that include more inspectors and new performance benchmarks under a plan demanded by regulators, US air safety authorities said Thursday. The aviation giant presented a comprehensive safety "roadmap" to officials after a near-catastrophic incident on a January Alaska Airlines flight that revived questions about Boeing, following fatal crashes involving its 737 MAX in 2018 and 2019. "Over time this is about systemic change, there is a lot of work to be done," Federal Aviation Administration head Mike Whitaker said at a news conf...

La première mission habitée du vaisseau spatial Starliner de Boeing, très attendue, continue de jouer avec nos nerfs. Prévu à l’origine pour il y a plus de deux semaines, elle est repoussée à une date ultérieure en raison de défis techniques persistants et d’une marge d’incertitude grandissante. L’aventure spatiale de Boeing est faite de reportsL’équipe de la NASA a repoussé la date de lancement au 1ᵉʳ juin en raison de la découverte d’une fuite d’hélium dans le système de propulsion du Starliner plus tôt ce mois-ci. Si cette tentative est annulée, le vaisseau aura d’autres occasions de s’envo...

Washington (AFP) - Le premier vol spatial avec équipage du vaisseau Starliner de Boeing, déjà maintes fois reporté, s'apprête à décoller le 1er juin sans avoir réparé une fuite d'hélium détectée sur le vaisseau, ont annoncé l'entreprise américaine et la Nasa vendredi. Le lancement de cette mission vers la Station spatiale internationale (ISS), cruciale pour Boeing et attendue depuis des années, a déjà été reporté de nombreuses fois. Le décollage avait été annulé au dernier moment le 6 mai -- alors que les deux astronautes formant l'équipage étaient déjà installés à bord -- à cause d'un problèm...

Washington (AFP) - Boeing is set to launch its first crewed space mission in June without fixing a small helium gas leak on its troubled Starliner spaceship, officials said Friday. The vessel, under development since 2010, has been plagued by technical problems and has yet to fulfill its purpose of ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station, allowing Boeing's rival SpaceX to zoom ahead with its Crew Dragon capsule. Starliner was supposed to finally fly astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the orbital outpost on May 6, but the mission was scrubbed hours before lift-off aft...

New York (AFP) - Boeing shares were hammered Thursday after a top company official predicted another quarter of meager plane deliveries, likely resulting in negative cash for all of 2024. Shortly after midday in New York, shares of the aviation giant were down 5.3 percent after Chief Financial Officer Brian West said the second quarter's cash performance could be "a little worse" than the first quarter during which Boeing burned through $3.9 billion in cash due to heavy operating costs and minimal incoming revenue because of reduced plane deliveries. Boeing had previously projected positive ca...
