#SpaceBucket 📆 15 Feb, 2023 The uncrewed orbital flight test launched on 📆 December 20, 2019, but after deployment, an 11-hour offset in the mission clock ⏲️ of #Starliner caused the #spacecraft to compute that “it was in an orbital insertion burn”, when it was not. Before re-entry, engineers discovered the second critical #software error 🐛. 📆 May 2022 two thrusters failed during the #orbital insertion burn. RCS thrusters failed during #docking.

📆 2014 #Boeing won a US$4.2 💰💰💰💰 billion contract for #Starliner, while #SpaceX won a US$2.6 💰💰billion contract for #Dragon. https://thespacebucket.com/what-exactly-went-wrong-with-boeings-starliner
