Starliner Problems
Earlier on Tuesday, a source in the rocket and space industry told TASS that the flight of the American Starliner to the ISS was postponed due to problems with the valves of the low-thrust engines. According to the agency's interlocutor, there are currently no preliminary deadlines for when the ship will return to the launch pad.
On July 29, NASA announced the postponement of the Starliner launch scheduled for July 30 to the ISS. Then the transfer was associated with the unplanned activation of the engines of the Russian Nauka module after docking with the ISS. According to the new plans, the ship was supposed to launch on August 3, but a few hours before the launch, the company announced that they were considering postponing the launch to August 4.
Later, Boeing said that the launch of the Starliner to the ISS, scheduled for Wednesday, August 4, was postponed indefinitely due to the need for additional time to assess the readiness of the device.
