NASA has added more safety fixes for Boeing’s
space capsule before it can fly astronauts
following a pair of close calls during last year’s
test flight.
In closing out the seven-month investigation,
NASA officials said they have now identified 80
corrective actions, mostly involving software
and testing, that must be done before the
Starliner capsule launches again. The previous
count was 61.
“It’s a bit of a wake-up call for NASA and its
contractors” across the board, said Steve Stich,
manager of NASA’s commercial crew program.
