Boeing’s Starliner set for crucial astronaut test flight
Boeing’s much-anticipated Starliner spacecraft is poised for a significant milestone as it gears up for its Crew Flight Test, scheduled for Monday night at 22:34 ET (Tuesday 02:34 UTC). After years of development and setbacks, this mission marks Boeing’s attempt to catch up with its rival SpaceX in NASA’s Commercial Crew Programme.
The mission, set to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, will carry two NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, to the International Space Station (ISS) for a weeklong stay. Both astronauts have patiently awaited Starliner’s readiness, enduring multiple delays and rotations in assignments.
