2024年载人星轮飞行中止,宇航员由于氦泄漏和推进器故障被转到SpaceX飞行任务。 2024 manned Starliner flight aborted, astronauts transferred to SpaceX mission due to helium leaks and thruster failures.
Boeing的星轮号航天器面临多重挫折和延误,导致预算超支1.6bn。 Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has faced multiple setbacks and delays, leading to a budget overrun of $1.6bn. 最初授予了4.2bn合同,以开发一个能够运载宇航员到国际空间站的航天器,Starliner经历了一些问题,包括2019年无人驾驶飞行失败,2021年阀门和湿度问题,2023年对降落伞和易燃粘合胶带的关切。 Initially awarded a $4.2bn contract to develop a spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts to the ISS, Starliner has experienced issues including a failed unmanned flight in 2019, problems with valves and moisture in 2021, and concerns over parachutes and flammable adhesive tape in 2023. 2024年6月,在首次载人飞行期间,星轮号在飞行中经历了氦泄漏和推进器故障,导致美国航天局将两名宇航员调到SpaceX飞行任务。 In June 2024, during its first manned flight, Starliner experienced helium leaks and thruster failures, causing NASA to transfer the two astronauts to a SpaceX mission.
