Boeing Starliner launch called off following problem with valve

The launch of a Boeing (BA) spacecraft was been called off on Monday after an issue was found with a component, hours after the FAA opened their second investigation into the company this year. The CST-100 Starliner spacecraft was due to be launched on Monday evening from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to carry two astronauts to the International Space Station, but the United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin (LMT), stopped the launch due to a problem with an oxygen relief valve on part of the rocket “out of an abundance of caution for the safety of the flight and pad crew.” ULA is targeting the next launch attempt no earlier than Friday, May 10.
