The four-day delay in the spacecraft's return would 'give our team a little bit more time to look at the data, do some analysis, and make sure we're really ready to come home.'
NASA is still trying to clear two major hardware issues: leaks in the helium system and the failure of five reaction-control system thrusters during Starliner's flight to the International Space Station.
Engineers found a decrease in helium leak rates inside Starliner's Service Module during a recent test, giving confidence in managing the helium loss.
