NASA outlines recovery plan for Boeing Starliner spacecraft

Boeing Starliner NASA spacecraft certification Vulcan Centaur low Earth orbit

NASA has announced a phased recovery plan for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft following the 2024 mission that left two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station. The agency is targeting an uncrewed test flight to the station as early as December 2026 or January 2027 to validate hardware upgrades and design modifications.

Key technical fixes include addressing service module thruster issues through valve poppet redesigns, replacing batteries, and improving parachute joints. NASA also aims to certify the Vulcan Centaur rocket, in partnership with United Launch Alliance, to replace the retiring Atlas V for future Starliner launches. The agency expects to invest an additional $359 million into these upgrades and certification processes.

If the uncrewed testing is successful, NASA plans to return astronauts to space via Starliner-2 in mid-2028, with astronaut Woody Hoburg slated to command the mission. This effort is part of NASA’s long-term strategy to maintain at least two independent American crew transportation options for the International Space Station and future commercial space stations, reducing sole reliance on SpaceX.
