with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, along with more details about its earnings for the second quarter of the year. The company already posted $288 million in losses “primarily as a result of delaying” the Crew Flight Test mission in 2023.

The first crewed Starliner flight took off in June with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams on board. Boeing’s spacecraft was only supposed to stay docked to the ISS for eight days before ferrying the astronauts back to Earth, but issues with its hardware prevented the mission from sticking to its original timeline.

The company had to examine and find what caused the Starliner’s degraded maneuvering thrusters while it was approaching the ISS. In addition, the helium ***** that caused several delays to the spacecraft’s launch seemed to have worsened, as well. Since June, the company has been putting the spacecraft through a series of tests. Just a few days ago, on July 27, it completed a hot ***** test of the Starliner’s reaction control system jets and made sure that the vehicle’s helium ***** rates remain within the acceptable margin. The tests were conducted with Williams and Wilmore onboard, because they’re part of the preparations for the spacecraft’s flight back home.

the tests’ results are still being reviewed. But once Boeing and the agency ensure that the Starliner is ready, they will set a date for the Starliner and the astronauts’ return flight.
