Boeing's Starliner Astronaut Mission Launch Date Announced
NASA and Boeing Collaboration
May 6, 2024 Launch Window
Boeing is preparing to launch its first-ever crewed Starliner astronaut mission for NASA in a historic step towards commercial spaceflight. The mission, targeting a May 6, 2024 launch date, marks a significant milestone in the development of Boeing's Crew Space Transportation (CST-100) Starliner spacecraft.
This launch will be the first crewed flight for the Starliner spacecraft, which has undergone extensive testing and development in collaboration with NASA. The mission aims to demonstrate the Starliner's capabilities and certify it for operational use, paving the way for future crewed flights to the International Space Station (ISS).
Boeing has been working closely with NASA to ensure the safety and success of the mission. The spacecraft is designed to transport up to four astronauts to the ISS and return them safely to Earth. The launch will take place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with the Starliner spacecraft carried by a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
This mission is a testament to the ongoing collaboration between NASA and the commercial space industry. It marks a significant step forward in the development of a robust and reliable transportation system for astronauts to and from low Earth orbit.
