Mission managers are still troubleshooting a helium leak on NASA’s new gumdrop shaped space capsule called Starliner. The vehicle, on top of an Alabama built Atlas-V rocket, will now launch no earlier than May 25th.

NASA, Boeing, and a rocket builder in Alabama are facing another delay in the liftoff of a new kind of spacecraft. Engineers found a helium leak on part of the Starliner capsule.

NASA, Boeing, and Alabama rocket builder United Launch Alliance are still shooting for this Friday (at the earliest,) for the blastoff of an Atlas-V. The rocket is supposed to carry a new space capsule called Starliner.

Two NASA astronauts may have to wait ten days before blasting off aboard a rocket built in Decatur. NASA and Boeing say they’re are rolling the Atlas five carrying the new Starliner space capsule off the launch pad for repairs. A faulty valve prompted launch managers to cancel Monday night’s liftoff. The part will need to be replaced.

Two veterans from NASA’s space shuttle program are within hours from a historic blastoff involving a rocket built in Alabama. The Atlas five is set to carry a new space capsule called Starliner.

NASA is counting down the hours before Monday night’s planned liftoff of an Atlas-V rocket, built in Alabama. The launch vehicle is carrying Boeing’s new Starliner space capsule with two astronauts on board.

An Alabama built rocket is maybe days away from making space history. The Atlas-V is set to carry two astronauts and a new NASA space capsule called Starliner. Not even the astronauts know how it will go.

NASA is preparing for a planned May launch of an Atlas-V rocket, built in Alabama. The booster is set to carry the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner space capsule to the International Space Station. Once the vehicle docks with the orbiting outpost, there will be a meeting of two “penguins."

Boeing’s new Starliner space capsule is on the launch pad at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, next door to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The vehicle, on top of an Alabama built Atlas-V rocket, is scheduled for an early May blastoff to the International Space Station.

The last Delta-IV Heavy type model, built in Alabama, blasted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The booster carried the NROL-70 payload, reportedly a spy satellite, for the National Reconnaissance Office. The Delta-IV Heavy was built at the United Launch Alliance factory in Decatur. Future launches on future Alabama rockets are planned.
