NASA held a critical virtual meeting on July 10th to deliberate on the future of the Starliner spacecraft, and that was just two days ago. Following a string of setbacks and technical difficulties that have beset the program—including a helium leak and thruster malfunction in June—this meeting was called. As the space agency chooses the best course of action to guarantee the safe return of their astronauts, the stakes are enormous.
There is a lot of curiosity about NASA's recent decision. The space agency has stated that, in the event of a crisis, the Starliner spacecraft will have a fallback plan that involves SpaceX's Dragon capsule. This statement emphasizes how important SpaceX is to NASA's commercial crew program even now.
Despite the difficulties, NASA remains optimistic about the Starliner's potential. Engineers are working around the clock to address over thirty issues with the spacecraft's propulsion system. Most of these problems have been fixed, and the rest ought to be completed soon.
But testing has shown that Starliner's thrusters retain more heat than expected, making it more difficult to replicate flying conditions on the ground. As a result, more testing and modifications are needed to make sure the spacecraft is prepared for its return trip.
NASA and Boeing are concentrating on carrying out additional ground testing at the White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico in the near future. Understanding the spacecraft's propulsion system and making sure all problems are fixed before trying the return mission depend on these experiments.
Steve Stitch, the manager of NASA's Commercial Crew program, has stated that he hopes the Starliner would be prepared for its return by the end of July. But, there is not much time left, so the team needs to work quickly to complete this task.
The continuous efforts to resolve the thruster issues and helium leaks were emphasized by Mark Nappi, Vice President and Program Manager for Commercial Crew at Boeing. Engineers are testing flanges and seals in the propulsion system to find the source of the problems.
The Crew-9 mission scheduled for mid-August by SpaceX also has an impact on when Starliner will return. Due to the space station's limited capacity, Starliner must undock in order to accommodate the new crew. This increases the urgency of finding a quick solution to the spacecraft's problems.

I’m getting a little tired of YouTube articles with grandiose titles that then talk about everything but the promised NASA Finally Orders… Shame on you.
-
Ummm, did I miss something? I missed the part where NASA requested Spacx to go get the the stuck astronauts.....
-
Boeing and SpaceX are not in competition! Boeing is no competition for SpaceX......
-
Reporting for misinformation.
-
If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
-
NASA and Boeing will have to swallow their pride in order for them to ask Space X to rescue them.
-
YOUR HEADLINE IS CLICKBATE!!! You lied to me . . . why did you do that?
-
This is unreal. Boeing should never of been allowed to send their craft.
-
NASA says there are no plans to send a SpaceX Dragon to rescue two astronauts
-
Click bate bullshit
-
Boeing is the failure here, they need to be stripped of all cost plus government contracts, period!
-
It's Boeing! They're already saying that some of the faulty thrusters aren't working but it "should be okay" to return. You getting in that ship?? I guess it'll be alright if you don't sit next to a door...
-
I haven’t heard anything about SpaceX to the rescue. The main thing is that the crew to come back safely.
-
After the crap that Boeing's gone thru, the astronauts probably scared to ride that junk back. They are lucky they made it up there is my understanding. If a car breaks pull over. If a plane breaks, you might survive the crash landing, if your space craft breaks ...........????? ..... blood boils and not from heat.
-
Another Boeing issue, this won't stop soon either. They are not the company that they were when the 747 came out.
-
Good thing they don't REALLY need SpaceX because SpaceX is currently grounded.
-
"Boeing, You Can Find Better But You Won't Pay More".
-
Too many false statements There have been no orbits of starship,. NASA has not announced that Dragon will rescue the star liner crew. MAKE YOUR POST HONEST!!!
-
Bah Bah, Bah, No information here, just a history lesson about SpaceX
-
i never heard NASA announce this - especially because FAA has stopped Space X falcon 9 from launching until their problem is fixed
