Starliner is currently firing small engines, known as thrusters, and the operation seems to be proceeding smoothly. NASA and Boeing made a deliberate decision to utilize a series of breakout burns to move the vehicle away from the International Space Station (ISS) due to previous thruster issues encountered during this mission. However, as of the latest update, there have been no new complications reported.
During NASA's webcast, a commentator confirmed that all 12 burns in the breakout burn sequence have been successfully executed, with each burn being deemed effective. This positive outcome indicates that the spacecraft is progressing as planned.
NASA's Rob Navias provided reassurance by stating that the Starliner is currently following a 'perfect trajectory,' suggesting that the mission is on track and meeting the desired objectives.
