NASA declined again today to indicate when the next Starliner flight will take place.
The agency and Boeing agreed after problems encountered with the 2024 Crewed Flight Test that the next mission, Starliner 1, will carry cargo only, but the question remains as to when.
Boeing said earlier this week they are working with NASA to resolve uncertainties about the date and additional cost impacts are possible.
Boeing’s Starliner, however, has encountered serious problems starting with the first uncrewed test flight in 2019.
— Boeing’s Kelly OrtbergBoeing said in its associated 10-Q filing that they expect to complete the uncrewed flight “no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2026,” but the outcome of discussions with NASA “is uncertain.”
