Update: #Starliner had a Mission Elapsed Time (MET) anomaly causing the spacecraft to believe that it was in an orbital insertion burn, when it was not. More information at 9am ET: http://NASA.gov/live

Because #Starliner believed it was in an orbital insertion burn (or that the burn was complete), the dead bands were reduced and the spacecraft burned more fuel than anticipated to maintain precise control. This precluded @Space_Station rendezvous.

We are getting good burns and are elevating the orbit of the spacecraft.

So no ISS docking for Starliner, will they have to redo the flight?
-
They probably have enough fuel to complete the mission it might just take longer to rendezvous with the ISS
