Boeing successfully launches Starliner spacecraft with astronauts on board, marking a milestone in commercial crewed spaceflight. SpaceX CEO wishes them luck.
The flight, which had faced multiple delays due to technical issues, was a pivotal moment for Boeing as it aimed to become a key player in the commercial spaceflight sector.
Boeing and NASA prepare for the Starliner Crew Flight Test despite a stable helium leak in the propulsion system. Targeting a June 1 launch, this mission will be the first to carry U.S. astronauts.
The after-hours surge in shares of AST SpaceMobile appears to be in reaction to the company's new agreement with AT&T. AST SpaceMobile said it entered into a definitive commercial agreement with AT&T to provide a space-based broadband network direct to everyday cell phones. The two companies were previously working together under a Memorandum of Understanding. The new agreement extends the collaboration until 2030.
