NASA further delays first operational Starliner flight

NASA will utilize SpaceX’s Crew Dragon for its Crew-10 and Crew-11 missions to the International Space Station in 2025 while evaluating whether Boeing needs to conduct another test flight of its Starliner spacecraft.

Crew-10, set for February 2025, will carry NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, along with JAXA’s Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos’ Kirill Peskov.

Crew-11 is scheduled for July 2025, with the crew yet to be announced. Earlier delays with the Starliner certification process have pushed its first operational flight, Starliner-1, to August 2025.

NASA is reviewing the Starliner Crew Flight Test mission and determining if another test is necessary, Space News has reported.
