NASA has announced that the test of the jet on the Starliner spacecraft has been completed at 27 points and is currently being evaluated to confirm the readiness of the spacecraft to bring astronauts back to Earth. The Starliner spacecraft took astronauts to the International Space Station on the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission, originally scheduled to return to Earth in a few days. However, after discovering a helium gas leak, safety must be confirmed before the return.
This test opened the jet for a short period to check if the propulsion force is sufficient. Initial results indicate that it is pre-flight level, but the ground team continues to evaluate the data to ensure readiness to bring astronauts back to Earth and will schedule another flight soon.
TLDR: NASA has completed the jet test on the Starliner spacecraft and is evaluating the results to ensure safety before bringing astronauts back to Earth. Another flight will be scheduled soon.
