CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION — Both NASA and Boeing announced that there is a new launch date for the company’s maiden crewed flight of the Starliner spacecraft as the Atlas V rocket it is sitting on will be rolled back for repairs.

On Monday night, Boeing announced that it was scrubbing the maiden launch of its Starliner due to an issue with a pressure regulation valve on the liquid oxygen tank on the Atlas V rocket’s Centaur upper stage.

Both the Starliner and the Atlas V rocket will be rolled back to United Launch Alliance's Vertical Integration Facility in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station for repairs on Wednesday, the Virginia-based company stated.

“The ULA team will perform leak checks and functional checkouts in support of the next launch attempt,” Boeing stated. United Launch Alliance is the joint business venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Boeing blamed the valve’s “oscillating behavior” as the reason for the scrub. ULA’s team was able to close the valve after NASA astronauts Cmdr. Barry “Butch” Wilmore and pilot Sunita “Suni” Williams got out of the Starliner spacecraft, NASA confirmed.

However, “The oscillations then re-occurred twice during fuel removal operations. After evaluating the valve history, data signatures from the launch attempt, and assessing the risks relative to continued use, the ULA team determined the valve exceeded its qualification and mission managers agreed to remove and replace the valve,” stated Boeing.

Both the Atlas V rocket and the Starliner spacecraft were set to take off from Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 10:34 p.m. ET, Monday, but at 8:34 p.m. ET, both NASA and Boeing called off the launch.

Originally, Boeing stated the next launch attempt would be Friday, May 10, but has revised that and the new launch date is Friday, May 17, at 6:16 p.m. ET.

This will be Boeing’s first maiden crewed launch of the Starliner and it will send the pair of astronauts to the International Space Station.
