CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. โ Boeing faces 61 safety fixes following last year's botched test flight of its Starliner crew capsule, NASA said Friday.
Douglas Loverro, NASA's human exploration and operation chief, told reporters that Boeing must first present a plan and schedule for the 61 corrective actions.
Loverro said the space agency wants to verify, among other things, that Boeing has retested all the necessary software for Starliner.
Boeing's Jim Chilton, a senior vice president, said his company is ready to repeat a test flight without a crew, if NASA decides on one.
NASA hired Boeing and another private company, SpaceX, to develop capsules to ferry astronauts to and from the space station.
