NASA ramps up support to get Boeing's astronaut capsule flying after Butch and Suni fiasco

NASA Ramps Up Funding and Support to Get Boeing's Starliner Flying Again

NASA will add support and funding to fix Boeing's Starliner capsule, with a cargo-only flight to the ISS targeted for December.
Astronauts will not fly on Starliner until 2028 because safety redesigns still need months or years to complete.
The 2024 crewed test flight was reclassified as a crew-endangering 'Type A mishap' after Wilmore and Williams were stranded for nearly a year.
Additional capsule upgrades and rocket certifications will cost NASA another $359 million, according to manager Dana Weigel.

Russian Progress M-35 Cargo Ship Docks at Space Station After Week-Long Delay

Russian Progress M-35 Cargo Ship Docks at Space Station After Week-Long Delay

Progress M-35 docked at the space-facing port of Russia's Poisk module at 9:44 a.m. EDT (1344 UTC) on Sept. 19, 2026.
The freighter launched from Baikonur on Sept. 16 at 9:33 a.m. EDT after a week-long delay caused by a Soyuz-2-1b third-stage problem that forced the rocket back to its hangar.
It was the first time the Soyuz-2-1b variant launched a Progress mission.
The spacecraft used the automated Kurs rendezvous system for docking, with cosmonauts Dubrov and Kikina standing by to take manual control.

NASA astronaut and Expedition 74 flight engineer Jack Hathaway configures research hardware inside a portable glovebag for a biotechnology investigation exploring how bacteria affect heart tissue in the microgravity environment. Results from the MVP (Multi-use Variable-g Platform) Cell-09 experiment could lead to advanced methods for preventing or treating heart damage in humans living on and off the Earth.

ISS experiment uses space to probe how pneumonia bacteria can damage the heart

ISS researchers are studying how pneumonia-causing bacteria can produce lasting heart damage.
The experiment uses stem-cell-derived heart tissues to observe cellular responses to infection.
NASA says bacteria in space tend to become more severe and more drug resistant.
The work could help both Earth-based medicine and long-duration human spaceflight.
