Starliner's Crew Flight Test to the space station had been targeted for May.
NASA also wants a bit more time to analyze data about Starliner's various components, such as its parachute system, before putting astronauts on the vehicle, Stich said. And the agency and Boeing plan to conduct one more ground test of a parachute subsystem — the chute that pulls off Starliner's forward heat shield. That trial is targeted for May, Stich said.
"At this time, there's really no issues or concerns with the parachute system," Stich said."The parachutes are installed in the vehicle; they're in good shape. It's just a matter of going through all that data and looking at the data and making sure we're really ready to go fly safely."
