View In AppIndian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams, along with fellow crew members, faces an extended stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) due to persistent glitches in the Boeing Starliner spacecraft they travelled in. Initially scheduled to return on June 26, the return journey has been postponed indefinitely as NASA and Boeing engineers continue to investigate technical issues.
The Boeing Starliner, making its debut mission, has encountered multiple setbacks, including delays in its launch due to issues with the Atlas 5 rocket and countdown computer malfunctions. However, the most pressing concerns revolve around helium leaks and thruster failures detected after its rendezvous and docking with the ISS.
