NASA Faces Challenges With Boeing Starliner as Astronauts' Return Delayed

Technical issues extend the mission of astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore aboard the ISS, with no set return date yet.

The Boeing Starliner spacecraft has encountered thruster malfunctions and helium leaks, delaying its return to Earth.
Astronauts Williams and Wilmore were initially scheduled to return on June 14, but their mission has been extended indefinitely.
NASA and Boeing are conducting extensive tests to ensure the spacecraft's safety before setting a new return date.
Despite the delays, the astronauts are continuing their planned activities and contributing to ISS maintenance and research.
NASA emphasizes that the astronauts are not stranded and have sufficient supplies for an extended stay.
