maybe they need to supply some OVERTHRUSTERS That way, when a few fail, the mission can continue
is one of the elements of the contract that all thrusters need be working when docking with space station? wow, is boeing in trouble again........
MH had to find a negative piece in the positive news.
this was a test flight and if/when a negative occurrence happens, that is the time for it to happen, not 5 flights later with passengers on board. There will be more test flights before this is certified and safe.
Exactly
Pretty sure that they will have to do another unmanned flight. This issue with thrusters is not an isolated issue. They had to replace the service module because the original had corroded valves in the thruster assembly which meant they could not properly actuate the valves.
They spent ages trying to figure out the cause of the issue in the Boeing designed but Aerojet Rocketdyn manufactured parts and couldn’t find root cause. So they just replaced the entire service module. It’s not looking good for Boeing yet.
