Boeing’s first astronaut flight called off at the last minute in latest setbackBy MARCIA DUNNAP Aerospace WriterThe Associated PressCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.were strapped in the company’s Starliner capsule when the countdown automatically was halted at 3 minutes and 50 seconds by the computer system that controls the final minutes before liftoff.
Technicians raced to the pad to help astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams out of the capsule atop the fully fueled Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Within an hour of the launch abort, the hatch was reopened. Bruno said one of the three redundant computers located near the rocket at the pad was sluggish. All three must work properly to proceed with a launch, he said.
“This is the business that we’re in,” Boeing’s Mark Nappi said. “Everything’s got to work perfectly.”Boeing should have launched its first crew around the same time as SpaceX, but its first test flight with no one on board in 2019 was plagued by severe software issues and never made it to the space station.
