Boeing's Starliner space capsule experiences helium leaks during test flight to ISS, posing no safety issues for astronauts.
Boeing's Starliner space capsule developed more helium leaks during its first test flight with astronauts, nearing the International Space Station.
Starliner already had one small helium leak when it rocketed into orbit Wednesday.
Despite the issue, mission managers pressed ahead for a midday docking with the space station while continuing to monitor the issue.
The leaks pose no safety issues for NASA test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams or the mission, and Boeing's Starliner holds plenty of helium reserves to make up for what's lost.
