Based on · First reported
Sources
- NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced that the agency will pay Boeing an additional $359 million to remodel the Starliner spacecraft and address identified problems, on top of the $5.1 billion already paid under a fixed‑price contract.
- The funding follows a series of Starliner setbacks, including a failed first attempt to reach the ISS, a marginal second attempt, and a crewed mission that stranded astronauts, and it supports plans for at least five more flights, potentially up to seven, with an uncrewed test flight slated for December 2026 or January 2027 and a crewed flight to the ISS in mid‑2028.
