NASA plans to make a decision as soon as this weekend on whether to allow a pair of astronauts to leave the International Space Station aboard a Boeing Co. spacecraft, ending weeks of speculation about their return trip to Earth.
The aerospace company’s Starliner capsule has been beset with glitches including thruster failures and helium leaks since launching June 5, raising questions about its ability to complete the round-trip crewed mission.
