The launch of the first crewed flight of the Boeing Starliner is scheduled for April this year.
NASA has announced it plans to launch the first crewed test flight of the Boeing Starliner capsule this April. The spacecraft has been through a troubled development and testing process but aims to become a second U.S.-based crew transport vehicle along with the SpaceX Crew Dragon.
The CFT launch will take place from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, using a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. Two NASA astronauts will travel on the flight, Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams, in an eight-day mission that will travel to the ISS, dock there, then return to Earth.
In a press conference, NASA official Steve Stitch said that NASA and Boeing were looking forward to the launch with around 80% of the preparation work already done.
