Boeing’s space race after 3 years delay, Starliner will be launched tomorrow morning, watch live event like this

Many private companies are competing in the race for American aerospace. These include Boeing, which is engaged in testing an unmanned astronaut capsule and improving its reputation in the space sector. Recently, we told you that on May 19, the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft is to be launched for the International Space Station. Boeing’s Starliner space capsule is ready for its unmanned launch to the International Space Station (ISS), NASA astronauts and officials said Wednesday. This launch has been pending for a long time, which has benefited Elon Musk’s Space Venture SpaceX. The launch time is May 20 at 4:24 am Indian time.

The gumdrop-shaped Boeing CST-100 Starliner capsule was to be launched in 2019, but could not happen due to a software failure. Last year, Boeing and its partner Aerojet were at loggerheads over the Starliner’s propulsion system. Due to this, the test flight of July 2021 also had to be cancelled. Both the companies blamed each other for this.

However, the Starliner is ready to launch once again from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Through this launch, Boeing wants to show that its spacecraft is safe for astronauts. If the mission is successful, it will be easier for Boeing to deal with the crisis in the jetliner business.

According to information, NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore may be part of the first crewed flight of Starliner in the future. However, this will be possible only if today’s mission is successful. NASA’s Space Operations Chief Kathy Lueders said that our team is working hard to prepare for this. The Starliner flight is a test mission. He said that we have learned a lot from the first uncrued demo of 2019.

As part of the mission, Starliner will attempt to dock with the space station on Friday and spend time at the orbital outpost before returning to Earth. If all goes according to plan, the Starliner could fly its first crew of astronauts sometime in the near future. Although NASA officials have said that it may be delayed.

The delay in this mission has resulted in an extra cost of Rs 4,622 crore on Boeing. Through the mission, Boeing wants to directly challenge its rival SpaceX. Although right now she is seen behind in this race.
