Problems with Centaur rocket keeps first crewed flight on terra firma
Boeing's long-delayed Starliner crewed launch, which was scheduled for today, has been postponed yet again, this time due to a valve problem on the Centaur upper stage. Managers pushed back the next attempt to no earlier than May 10.
United Launch Alliance, responsible for the Atlas V that will launch Boeing's Starliner, said:"Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of the flight and pad crew, we scrubbed the Crew Flight Test launch attempt today due to an observation on a liquid oxygen self-regulating solenoid relief valve on the Centaur upper stage.
The crew, consisting of Space Shuttle and International Space Station veterans Sunita"Suni" Williams and Barry"Butch" Wilmore, had boarded the spacecraft before the scrub was called. This launch was set to be the 100th flight of the Atlas V rocket, and notably the first carrying humans.
