- NASA is opening an independent investigation with Boeing over a software glitch that prevented its unmanned astronaut capsule from reaching the International Space Station in December, the agency said on Tuesday.
The U.S. space agency is forming an investigative team to determine what caused the timer glitch and “any other software issues,” NASA said. The team will “provide corrective actions” needed before Starliner can fly a crew of astronauts for the first time, it added, saying the probe will take about two months.
It added that it would take NASA “several weeks” to decide whether Boeing will need to re-do its test or carry on to the final test flight of lofting humans to the space station, set for later this year.
