The two NASA astronauts who travelled to the ISS on Boeing 's Starliner capsule will have to stay on the space station 'indefinitely' while Boeing engineers are troubleshooting various faults in the spacecraft. The clock is ticking as the capsule can only stay docked at the station for 45 days.
The return module of the Starliner spacecraft is currently docked to the ISS's Harmony module as NASA and Boeing engineers assess the hardware issues aboard the vessel, including leaks to the system that pressurizes the spacecraft's propulsion system and five thruster failures to its reaction-control system. After powering the thrusters up on June 15, engineers found that most of these issues appeared to be at least partially resolved, but their exact causes remain unknown.
