It Happened! NASA To Delay SpaceX Crew 9 Due to Boeing Starliner Problem...

okay you know what that's enough starer has consistently failed to meet expectations and has now become a significant liability not only has it caused to numerous delays but its ongoing issues may also Force NASA to postpone the dragon crew 9 schedule it might be time to reconsider its future and potentially cancel the project fortunately there is some positive news the recently launched SpaceX signus ng21 Mission has stabilized after the initial incident Additionally the axium 4 Mission also managed by SpaceX has confirmed All crew members and is ready for launch so join us as we delve into these developments on today's episode of great SpaceX as you all know Boeing and NASA are still deeply involved in extensive testing of their propulsion systems and addressing helium leaks well there is widespread concern for astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams both agencies maintain optimism that they are on track to bring the star learner astronauts back safely recently Boeing released an update detailing the numerous activities the company has completed in recent days perhaps in an attempt to convince NASA to Grant more time and to mask its inability to resolve the return issues however the broader public is skeptical as despite their optimistic Outlook they have yet to provide a specific return date in stark contrast to this ongoing dis appointment SpaceX is actively preparing for crewed Missions following the return of Falcon 9 NASA recently announced the launch date for crew9 on August 18th however there are concerns that NASA might make one of the most questionable decisions in recent years with less than 2 weeks remaining until this flight some unofficial sources indicate that the crew 9 Mission might have its schedule postponed instead of launching on August 18th it could be delayed until September 24th this potential delay is concerned turning a shift of over a month from the original schedule raises questions about NASA's plans during this period in addition to the revised schedule the crew 9 Mission had previously confirmed its crew members including NASA astronauts Zena Cardman Nick hag and Stephanie Wilson along with Ros Cosmos astronaut Alexander gorinov however this plan has been disrupted by the continued issues with Starliner on the ISS consequently there may be further changes to the schedule and instead of four astronauts only two might participate in the mission the reason for this adjustment is likely due to the need to accommodate the two Starliner astronauts there are two potential scenarios for this situation firstly when crew 9 arrives at the ISS All crew eight members could return allowing the two Starliner astronauts to stay and return with crew 9 early next year alternatively the two Starliner astronauts could return with two crew8 astronauts leaving the remaining crew eight members to stay on the ISS the first scenario seems more probable considering that The Crew 8 astronauts have already been on the ISS for about half a year while the two Starliner astronauts have only been there for about 2 months during this waiting period NASA and Boeing would need to find a way to resupply these Starliner astronauts in light of these potential changes it is crucial to consider the broader implications for Mission planning and Astronaut Logistics regarding the scheduled delay many analysts believe that it will provide NASA and Boeing with more time to evaluate Starliner ability to return to evaluate star liner's ability to evaluate star liner's ability to return if Starliner can return successfully crew 9 will proceed with its full crew however if star loner cannot resolve its issues crew 9 may only fly with the two members mentioned earlier the current star llander delay complicates crew 9's potential August mission to the ISS the US module on the ISS has only two docking ports both of which are currently occupied by Dragon Crew 8 and Starliner according to the direct Handover method the New Missions astronauts must arrive at the ISS before the previous missions astronauts return this procedure is difficult to execute given the Starliner delay in light of this analysis it is evident that the Starliner delay is causing significant disruptions on the ISS the most efficient solution might be to discontinue the Starland project and use Dragon to rescue the two astronauts if you agree with this course of action please respond with yes in the comment section down below despite despite these ongoing issues NASA continues to place its trust in Starliner offering it multiple opportunities as discussed they are even willing to delay dragon's schedule to accommodate Starliner this decision remains puzzling given the repeated setbacks and the broader implications for Mission planning and Astronaut Logistics let's remember who was it that helped them regain autonomy on the ISS who was there for NASA to maintain supplies and operate the ISS for many years dragon is NASA being too unfair to its savior looking to the future if Starliner Cann not return or returns without astronauts it might spell the end for the program missions like Starliner 1 in late 2025 could become impossible failure to complete the current Mission means Starliner cannot get launch certification necessitating more test missions however it's unlikely that Starliner will be given more chances under such circumstan Es as for Dragon I hope everything continues smoothly they have many other missions this year like Polaris Dawn and axium 4 I hope that the delay on the ISS especially doesn't affect Polaris Dawn the private spacewalk Mission we've all been eagerly anticipating for now we must wait for updates from NASA everything will be confirmed soon and we'll keep you updated as soon as possible please like the video share it and also subscribe to our channel to continue following spacex's development Journey especially regarding the current ISS missions finishing the update related to Starliner and crew 9 we now move on to another important update on spacex's recently launched mission signus ng21 in the previous episode we mentioned that the spacecraft encountered problems on performing burn operations however NASA indicated that the ISS docking schedule remained unaffected in the latest update it appears that everything is back on track NASA wrote The Sickness spacecraft has completed two Delta velocity Burns and remains on track for capture by the space stations robotic arm scheduled for 3:10 a.m. on Tuesday August 6th the spacecraft is in a safe trajectory and all other systems are operating normally additionally NASA reported that the sickness spacecraft completed the deployment of its two solar arrays at 221 p.m. the same day this deployment is crucial as it keeps sickness operational despite the earlier issues referring to the incident NASA added shortly after launch on Sunday the spacecraft performed as designed by cancelling a scheduled engine burn due to a slightly low initial pressure reading flagged by the signus onboard detection system engineers at north of grumman's Mission Control Center in Dallas Virginia evaluated the pressure reading confirmed it was acceptable and reworked the burn plan to arrive at the space station on the originally planned schedule this success successful troubleshooting and adherence to the schedule demonstrate the robustness and reliability of the sickness spacecraft and the teams behind its operation as planned When approaching the ISS signus will be captured by the station's canadarm 2 robotic arm this arm will be operated by NASA astronaut Matthew Dominic with NASA astronaut Janette EPS acting as a backup after capture the spacecraft will be installed on the unity module's Earth facing Port it's great to see that this resupply mission is back to normal status given the delays from Starliner this mission is particularly important with this resupply the agencies will have more time to address ongoing issues with ISS missions and finally we have another update related to Dragon and the ISS specifically the axium 4 Mission in a previous update we mentioned that an Indian astronaut would participate in this mission in the latest update all crew members for the a for Mission have been revealed according to the axium space website the crew assigned to ax 4 includes Commander Peggy witson Mission pilot shanu Shukla of India Mission Specialist slitz usany of isao and Mission specialist Tibor kapu of Hungary sorry if I got any of those names horribly wrong the update also emphasized it is partnering with India through the Indian space research organization or ISRO Poland with European Space Agency support and hungry to send three National astronauts to the space station on axium Mission 4 or ax 4 for short the company's next commercial human space flight mission to the orbiting laboratory these updates highlight the ongoing International collaboration and progress in space exploration showcasing how different agencies and nations are working together to achieve their goals in Space the assigned crew members are pending approval to fly to the International Space Station by the multilateral crew operations panel or mcup mcop decisions mop decisions are made in consensus by representatives from all five Space Station International Partners NASA Isa Ros Cosmos Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Canadian space agency they added currently the ax4 crew members have arrived in Houston to begin training with axium space NASA and SpaceX ax4 will launch to the orbiting laboratory aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and dragon spacecraft from Florida and the crew is expected to spend up to 14 days on the space station like previous missions ax4 will continue to help astronauts conduct experiments observe analyze and evaluate thereby accumulating experience to build and operate a private space station in the future to replace the ISS axium missions to date have been supported by SpaceX and in the future when axium space builds a space station SpaceX will likely remain their best choice not only for the axium space station but also for the construction of other stations such as the vast space station and star laab space station back to the a for Mission if all goes according to plan this will be spacex's fifth crude Mission this year following a 3 Crew 8 and the upcoming crew 9 and Polaris Dawn missions this demonstrates the superiority of spacex's dragon in sending people into space let's wait and see how SpaceX will accomplish its goals in the remainder of this year well folks that's about it for today's episode thank you so much for tuning in and as always this has been Kevin from great SpaceX until next time keep looking up
