NASA-Boeing's Starliner to make 3rd attempt to launch crew

New Delhi: Boeing's Starliner is set to make a third attempt to launch its crew test flight on June 5, NASA announced on Monday.

"NASA's BoeingSpace Crew Flight Test mission teams are preparing to support a launch at 10:52 a.m. ET June 5," NASA said in a post on X.com.

The mission's second attempt on June 1 was scrubbed at the last minute.

NASA said that it was scrubbed as mission officials at United Launch Alliance (ULA) "identified an issue with a single ground power supply that encountered issues during the countdown."

The ULA team found the power supply within one of the three redundant chassis that provides power to a subset of computer cards controlling various system functions. They also identified the card responsible for the stable replenishment topping valves for the Centaur upper stage. All three of these chassis are required to enter the terminal phase of the launch countdown to ensure crew safety.
