Boeing's Starliner crewed test flight delayed to mid-summer for parachute tests.

NASA and Boeing have delayed the first crewed launch of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft until at least late July due to certification paperwork that has taken longer than expected to complete. The Crew Flight Test mission was originally scheduled for the end of April, but officials have rescheduled it to no earlier than July 21. The delay was caused by certification work on the capsule's parachutes, which is expected to be completed by April. The revised schedule will also allow engineers more time to check out avionics systems on the vehicle after finding a logic error in an integrated propulsion controller.
