It was exciting news in its own right that aerospace company Boeing (NYSE:BA) finally managed to get its Starliner off the ground and into space,

Boeing's Starliner successfully docked at the International Space Station after managing three helium leaks and a thruster issue,

Two helium leaks appeared on the spacecraft en route to the International Space Station, in addition to a leak engineers knew about prior to launch. The crew are not thought to be in any danger.

The leaks do not currently present a safety issue to the crew, the vehicle or the mission,” says a Boeing spokesperson.

Boeing’s space capsule developed more leaks during its first test flight with astronauts as it closed in on the International Space Station on Thursday. The Starliner capsule already had one small helium leak when it rocketed into orbit Wednesday.

Despite the discovery of helium leaks, the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that launched from Florida on Wednesday is expected to dock at the ISS on Thursday.

After a successful launch Wednesday with two astronauts on board, NASA and Boeing have discovered additional helium leaks on the spacecraft.

Boeing’s Starliner sprung two new leaks in its propulsion system after launch from Cape Canaveral on Wednesday, and lost power to some of its thrusters as it approached the International Space Station,
