NASA, Boeing to start testing Starliner for next flight aimed at early 2026

Quick Summary:

NASA said on Thursday it was moving toward certifying Boeing's CST-100 Starliner for crewed flights later this year or by early 2026 after its inaugural mission to the International Space Station was marred by a system fault, forcing an extended stay.

Williams and Wilmore returned earlier this month in SpaceX's Dragon capsule.

Steve Stich, manager of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, said the flight was likely to be in the timeframe of late this calendar year or early next year.
