NASA and Boeing officials will provide an update Monday afternoon on the future of the Starliner spacecraft after its troubled first crewed mission.
The briefing will focus on development and plans for regular crewed flights to and from the International Space Station, according to the space agency. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and Boeing Starliner program manager John Mulholland are among those expected to participate.
Starliner’s first crewed test flight launched astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the space station in June 2024, but problems with the spacecraft’s thrusters and helium leaks prompted NASA to return the capsule to Earth without them. In March 2025, a SpaceX Dragon capsule brought the duo back after nine months on the space station.
The update also comes hours after SpaceX launched its Starship rocket into orbit for the first time, marking a major milestone for the company owned by billionaire Elon Musk.
The briefing is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. EDT.
