Next Crewed Boeing Starliner Flight Delayed Until 2028
Original: Next Crewed Boeing Starliner Flight Not Until 2028
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is not expected to carry astronauts again until 2028, according to a new report. The delay marks another setback for the troubled program, which has faced propulsion problems and cost overruns since its first crewed flight in 2024 left astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station for months. Boeing has already taken substantial losses on the program, and the timeline raises fresh questions about the company's future role in NASA's commercial crew efforts alongside SpaceX.
Why now: Boeing has confirmed or been reported to have pushed its next crewed Starliner mission to 2028, a major delay in NASA's commercial crew program.
