On the 19th, the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released an investigation report on Boeing's "Starliner" manned test flight mission, determining that the incident in which astronauts were stranded at the International Space Station due to a spacecraft malfunction was the highest severity level "Class A" accident. NASA stated that the "Starliner" spacecraft lost maneuverability when approaching the International Space Station with astronauts on board, causing related economic losses, thus classifying this test flight as a Class A accident. According to NASA's accident classification, Class A accidents include incidents that result in human death or permanent total disability, mission failure causing direct property losses of $2 million or more, destruction of a manned spacecraft, unexpected loss of control of the spacecraft, and other situations.
