NASA astronauts stuck waiting aboard ISS to return to Earth amid issues with Boeing’s Starliner

Two NASA astronauts, Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams, launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft on June 5 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, bound for the International Space Station (ISS).

However, they have encountered multiple mechanical issues that have delayed their return, originally scheduled for June 14.

As part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, the mission aims to certify Boeing’s spacecraft for regular ISS missions.

Despite the delays, NASA assures that Wilmore and Williams, currently aboard the ISS with ample supplies, are safe.

They are actively participating in station operations and completing objectives crucial for Starliner’s certification.

Starliner faced challenges from the outset, with its original flight test, slated for May 6, postponed due to an oxygen valve issue on a United Launch Alliance rocket, ABC News has reported.
