The first manned test flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft has been cancelled less than four minutes before liftoff due to a technical fault.
According to Xinhua and Bloomberg, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA announced Saturday that it has again postponed the long-delayed first manned test flight of the Starliner. The next test flights are scheduled for June 5 and 6.
The Starliner was scheduled to lift off aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 12:25 a.m. Edt on Saturday. Sending two American astronauts to the International Space Station.
However, NASA's live footage of the day showed that the launch mission of the "Starliner" was suspended in the countdown of about 3 minutes and 50 seconds. NASA later announced the cancellation of the day's launch due to a ground system failure.
According to the report, a system problem with one of the three computers on the launch pad automatically triggered the mission abort. ULA is also investigating what caused the computer to malfunction.
ULA Chief Executive Tory Bruno said Sunday that the remedy could be a simple hardware fix or something more.
The Starliner was scheduled for its first manned test flight on May 6, but has been delayed several times for technical reasons.
