Boeing's Starliner Faces Further Delays as Astronauts Remain in Space

Technical issues with the spacecraft's thrusters and helium leaks extend the mission duration for NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.

The Starliner crew's return to Earth has been rescheduled to June 26, over two weeks later than planned.
Engineers are investigating multiple thruster failures and helium leaks that occurred during the mission.
This delay allows for additional testing and data collection to ensure the spacecraft's safety and performance.
The mission marks the first crewed flight of Boeing's Starliner, intended to provide an alternative to SpaceX's Dragon capsule.
The spacecraft will land at White Sands Space Harbor, marking the first U.S. capsule to land on land with astronauts aboard.
