MOSCOW, August 7. /TASS/. The reusable Starliner spacecraft manufactured by Boeing is likely to be prepared for launch for another month. This was announced on Saturday by the general director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin on the air of the YouTube channel "Solovyov Live".
"To be honest, I think now they will bring it to mind for a month," he said.
According to him, the launch of the Boeing-made spacecraft was supposed to take place a week ago, but the rocket was removed, and the ship was sent from the launch complex to the technical zone.
"And before that, they had an accident, not an accident, but an emergency situation when, due to a software failure, they could not dock with the International Space Station as part of the first flight of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft," Rogozin recalled.
Starliner (full name: Crew Space Transportation (CST) - 100 Starliner) is an American manned reusable spacecraft. It was developed by the American company Boeing and is designed to deliver crews to the International Space Station (ISS) and return astronauts from near-Earth orbit.
