About this recording
NASA is giving Boeing’s Starliner another chance—and planning a path beyond Atlas V. With SpaceX looking toward the eventual retirement of Falcon and Dragon, we examine why NASA sees Starliner as an important part of its future crew transportation plans.
This week on This Week in Spaceflight, we cover Starliner’s planned uncrewed return to the International Space Station, the fixes needed before astronauts fly again, and the work required to certify ULA’s Vulcan Centaur to launch the spacecraft.
NSF also speaks with ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher about Europe’s options for an independent crew transportation program. Could Europe develop its own astronaut spacecraft—and eventually its own space station?
