Abstract

The article discusses NASA's decision to reduce the planned missions of Boeing Co.'s Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS) from six to four. This change follows a problematic test flight last year and is influenced by the ISS's impending retirement by the end of the decade. The revised contract now includes four confirmed missions and two optional ones, with the next flight scheduled for April 2026, which will only transport cargo to the ISS to test upgrades made to the spacecraft. If successful, the subsequent three flights will carry crew members. [Extracted from the article]
