ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 10, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Despite some media reports claiming
otherwise, ValveTech Inc. did not call for NASA to permanently
stop the Starliner launch. The company's president warned of safety
concerns that need to be addressed before retrying the launch.
"Some media outlets have misquoted or misrepresented comments I
made in a news release issued earlier this week," said ValveTech
President Erin Faville. "What I said
was that NASA needs to re-double safety checks and re-examine
safety protocols to make sure the Starliner is safe before trying
to launch the Starliner again."
"As a valued NASA partner, it would make no sense and not be in
my company's interest to end this mission," Faville added. "It is
unfortunate that some of my comments were taken out of context to
imply otherwise."
ValveTech supplies 14 valve components to vendors for the
Starliner CST-100 spacecraft, which is designed to carry humans and
scientific research to and from low-Earth orbit, including the
International Space Station.
