Boeing space launch cancelled by computer with minutes to go
02-06-2024, 09:30 AM
Boeing forced to call off its first launch with NASA astronauts once again
“These kinds of holds occur when a command goes out and the computer cannot verify the proper response to a command,” said Dillon Rice, a systems test engineer and launch conductor at United Launch Alliance. A joint venture of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, ULA manufactures the Atlas V rocket that the Starliner capsule rides into orbit.
Roughly two hours before liftoff, a separate issue was detected with ground instrumentation used to top off propellant in the Atlas V rocket’s upper stage, but engineers were able to resolve that problem. Tory Bruno, president and CEO of United Launch Alliance, said it’s unclear at the moment if the two problems were related.
Both SpaceX and Boeing developed their spacecraft as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The initiative began more than a decade ago to support private companies in building new space vehicles to take astronauts to low-Earth orbit, following the retirement of the agency’s space shuttles.

Do you think Apollo really landed on the moon?
Last time they could, now they can't?
Bluff who?
