Boeing Starliner Technical Issues Extend NASA Astronauts ISS Stay

Unresolved propulsion and helium leak problems delay Starliner's return to Earth, but astronauts remain safe.

The Starliner spacecraft, carrying astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, faces multiple hardware issues.
NASA and Boeing are troubleshooting five malfunctioning thrusters and several helium leaks.
The return to Earth has been postponed to allow more time for problem resolution.
Starliner is certified for a 45-day stay at the ISS, with potential extensions if needed.
Despite delays, the astronauts have ample supplies and are assisting with ISS operations.
