Jun 6, 2024 11:06 AM

01:38 PM EDT, 06/06/2024 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with details throughout)

Boeing's ( BA ) Starliner capsule was scheduled to dock at the International Space Station at 12:15 p.m. ET on Thursday, but the company and NASA needed to address failed thrusters on the spacecraft, which pushed back the arrival time, according to media reports.

A second docking opportunity opens at 1:33 p.m. ET and ends at 2:19 p.m. ET, CNN reported.

The spacecraft has 28 thrusters in total which are designed to fine tune its trajectory to the ISS.

Four of the five thrusters that failed on the service module were back up again, CNN added.

The spacecraft has also experienced helium leaks on its mission. Two of the three leaks have been corrected, according to CNN.

This is the Starliner's first crewed mission to the ISS after a successful unmanned mission in 2022.
