The agency reduces the scope of Boeing’s contract as the spacecraft continues to face technical setbacks.
NASA has reduced the number of planned missions for Boeing’s Starliner, lowering its contract from six flights to four after the troubled 2024 crewed test left astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams stranded on the ISS for nine months. According to the agency, the next Starliner mission scheduled for April 2026 will fly without astronauts and will be limited to cargo delivery.
