They cannot do it at the moment, as Boeing has removed the software support for flying Starliner uncrewed from this specific craft, even though it has already completed a mission without humans onboard already. And we’ve only learned about it after Starliner was stuck docked to ISS
- CoastalCoder 2y agoIs there a mechanism for updating the Starliner software while it's docked at the ISS?
- martin_a 2y agoPut a microSD with the firmware update in the slot for the navigation system card. Then restart the system and hold down the "Play" button while restarting until the screen turns blue. System may reboot several times afterwards, when everything is done, the system will startup as usual.
- shantara 2y agoPresumably, yes. But making such major alterations to the flight software might be considered an unacceptable risk to the ISS.
- dmvdoug 2y agoYes, and in the story it talks about how that updating is what would cause the longest delays in getting Starliner off ISS if they go that route. So yes, it’s possible.
- blankx32 2y agoNASA already clarified this is not correct, only software parameters need to be modified not the software
- shantara 2y agoInteresting, I haven’t seen this news. Would you happen to have a link?
