Reuters reports that Boeing's new Starliner capsule has run into new problems on its approach to dock with the International Space Station.

Helium leaks were detected on the CST-100 Starliner, which is carrying the spacecraft's inaugural two-member NASA crew.

.

With veteran astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams aboard, the CST-100 Starliner successfully launched from Florida on June 5.

.

On its way to the ISS, helium leaks were detected on the Boeing spacecraft's propulsion system, which rendered a number of its 28 thrusters unusable.

According to NASA and Boeing, the crew remains safe, and the CST-100's backup thrusters can compensate for the loss.

On June 6, NASA mission managers gave Boeing the green light to proceed with docking procedures while the agency continues to monitor the leak rate.

NASA's plan will see Wilmore and Williams remain aboard the ISS for eight days before departing on a return flight through Earth's atmosphere.

The mission will then end with a first-ever parachute and airbag-assisted landing for a crewed mission in the U.S. Desert Southwest.

.

The successful June 5 Starliner launch came following years of technical problems, leading to a series of setbacks and delays.

.

Reuters reports that Boeing's Starliner is currently several years behind schedule and has already exceeded its budget by over $1.5 billion.

VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky [Video]

VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky

A fiery object spotted blazing through skies above South Carolina, Georgia, and nearby states on Thursday afternoon has triggered investigations and emergency responses across the region. Multiple fire departments in South Carolina’s Upstate launched searches for a possible meteorite crash site after 12:20 p.m. Witnesses described a bright "fireball in the sky," and in Georgia, one homeowner reported a rock crashed through their roof. Officials are working to determine whether the object was a meteorite — a space rock that survived atmospheric entry — and if it impacted any populated areas. #MeteoriteCrash #SouthCarolina #GeorgiaFireball #FireballSighting #SpaceRock #Meteor #Meteorite #NASA #BreakingNews #MeteorCrash #UpstateFireball #MeteorSouthCarolina #HenryCountyCrash #SpaceAlert #MeteoriteNews #MeteorSky #FireballWatch #EmergencyResponse #SpaceEvent #MeteoriteImpact Also Read Orionids meteor shower: When and Where to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/orionids-meteor-shower-when-and-where-to-watch-in-india-2965516.html?ref=DMDesc Chile: Oldest meteorite collection on Earth discovered in Atacama Desert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/chile-oldest-meteorite-collection-on-earth-discovered-in-atacama-desert-2895379.html?ref=DMDesc Geminid Meteor Shower to peak tonight: Where and how to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/geminid-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-where-how-to-watch-india-2822045.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~
