Just 5 months later revealing the NASA astronauts who will fly the crewed test flights for both Boeing’s Starliner and SpaceX’s Dragon assignments, NASA proclaimed that a medical issue will stop one of those astronauts from hovering the Starliner crewed test flight. The declaration came through website of the agency, observing a 2-time Space Shuttle astronaut, Eric Boe, was no longer allocated for the test mission ofCST-100 Starliner. Boe is expert of 2 shuttle flight, who has assisted as Pilot of Endeavor in November 2008 through his STS-126 assignment to the Space Station and as a Pilot of 39’th final task of Discovery, STS-133 in February 2011.
NASA observed that elimination of Boe from the flight was because of a health issue, saying Eric Boe, initially allocated to the mission in the month of August 2018, is incapable to fly due to health reasons, he will exchange Fincke as the associate to the main for commercial crew in the astronaut office at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre. Team shakes-up and relocations do occur, however they are not monotonous by any stretch. Previous year, consideration to this was drawn by NASA when astronaut Jeanette Epps was detached from her incomplete extended duration mission to the International Space Station, where she would have been the 1st African American to help as a team associate of the orbital lab.
That particular team change provoked queries of precisely why she was uninvolved from the mission, as a rule, NASA does not discuss team projects or reassignments as the circumstance may be, and never reveals precisely why certain astronauts are selected and others are not. Reportedly, expert NASA and ISS astronaut Edward Mike Fincke will be swapping Eric Be on the Starliner test flight. He has hovered 3 test missions to date, 2 long period flights overseas the International Space Station and 1 as a Mission Expert on the Space Shuttle.
