CTOnews.com, June 2 (Xinhua)-- according to the New York Times, the flight test plan for Boeing StarLiner's International Space Station crew, originally scheduled for July 21 this year, has been delayed again.

Boeing and NASA said yesterday that "the first manned flight test of the Starliner spacecraft will be further postponed" because of "new technical problems" with the spacecraft.

▲ source NASACTOnews.com inquiry learned that the launch time of the StarLiner capsule has been postponed several times before, originally scheduled for launch in December last year, then postponed to April this year due to "orbital conflict at the space station," and then postponed to July 21, and now the launch plan has been postponed again, and the official did not provide a new exact launch date.

Mark Nappi, vice president of Boeing's commercial crew team, announced the reason for the delay in the launch of the StarLiner capsule. "Boeing engineers found that there was a problem with the parachute system and needed to deal with the remnants of tape that had been ignored inside the spacecraft, so it would take more time," he said.

"Boeing's leadership will make plans in the next week or so to determine the exact launch date of the StarLiner capsule," Nappi said. He also said that "it is feasible to launch at some point this year," and that "delaying the launch is the right choice" for safety reasons, although it will bring more costs to NASA and Boeing, but "it's worth it."
