NASA Astronauts Stranded in Space Due to Starliner Malfunction

NASA reported that the Boeing-developed spacecraft Starliner encountered multiple technical issues following its launch into space.

The spacecraft, which was carrying two NASA astronauts, experienced malfunctions that led to their extended stay in orbit. Initially intended to transport the astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS), the Starliner faced unexpected setbacks shortly after docking at the ISS.

Efforts are underway to address these malfunctions and evaluate the extent of the damage. The astronauts, Sunny Williams and Dobuch Wilmore, had planned to return to Earth on June 13 after a week-long mission. However, their stay has been involuntarily extended due to the spacecraft’s technical difficulties.

NASA officials have indicated that the astronauts are expected to remain in space until at least June 26. The Starliner successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Space Station in Florida on June 5 after multiple delays, but it soon began to show signs of operational issues.

During a press conference on June 18, Starliner program manager Mark Nappi disclosed that the spacecraft’s helium system was not performing as anticipated, although it was still manageable. The engineering teams from Boeing and NASA are currently scrutinizing the spacecraft’s hardware problems. The Starliner’s propulsion system is particularly affected, with five helium leaks putting pressure on the system and resulting in the failure of five thrusters and control systems.

On June 15, after reactivating the thrusters, engineers noted that while most problems were partially resolved, the underlying causes of the malfunctions are still being investigated. This ongoing technical challenge underscores the complexities of space travel and the critical need for robust spacecraft systems to ensure the safety and success of missions.
