Boeing's Starliner completes ISS docking despite helium leak, thrusters failure<br /><br />Boeing's new Starliner spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore and Sunita ‘Suni’ Williams, successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on June 6, 2024 (June 7 in Manila). During the post-docking news conference, mission managers from NASA and Boeing said this key event marked a significant test of the vessel's capabilities, amidst minor technical issues including a helium leak and some thruster failures. Despite these challenges, the spacecraft autonomously completed its docking during its orbit 250 miles above the Earth.<br /><br />Video by REUTERS<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /><br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /><br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#starliner<br />#internationalspacestation<br />#NASA
