A technical issue pushed back Boeing's second attempt to reach the ISS, but now its ready to fly. Here's how to catch the launch live.
Boeing is set to relaunch its Starliner crew capsule (with no humans on board) for a second attempt at docking with the International Space Station this Tuesday, Aug. 3. Boeing's first try in late 2019 failed to reach the ISS but landed safely in the desert.
The mission was originally scheduled to take off Friday, but it's now aiming for Aug. 3 after an unexpected issue on Thursday with an ISS module firing its thrusters shortly after docking with the station.
"The International Space Station team will use the time to continue working checkouts of the newly arrived Roscosmos Nauka multipurpose laboratory module (MLM) and to ensure the station will be ready for Starliner's arrival," said NASA in a statement.
