MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. – Teams at NASA and Boeing are working to determine when they will try again to launch the uncrewed Starliner spacecraft from Florida’s coast after a technical issue caused a scrub for the first attempt this week.
The orbital flight test 2 (OFT-2) launch was scrubbed Tuesday hours before the ULA Atlas V rocket was set to liftoff at 1:20 p.m. from Cape Canaveral. Boeing said engineers monitoring the health and status of the spacecraft detected an unexpected valve position in the propulsion system. The issue was first discovered Monday after an electrical storm near Kennedy Space Center, according to Boeing.
