Docking with ISS took place at 8.28pm EDT as the two vehicles flew 271 miles over the south Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia, according to commentators on a live Nasa webcast of the linkup.
Subsequent problems with Starliner’s propulsion system, supplied by Aerojet Rocketdyne, led Boeing to scrub a second attempt to launch the capsule last summer. Besides seeking a cause of thruster failures shortly after Thursday’s launch, Boeing said it was monitoring some unexpected behaviour detected with Starliner’s thermal-control system, but that the capsule’s temperatures remained stable.
If all goes well with the current mission, Starliner could fly its first team of astronauts to the space station as early as the fall.
