The spacecraft set to carry two NASA astronauts on the agency\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station<\/a> is ready to move from its production facility to the launch site. Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft will roll out of the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Tuesday, April 16, to the Vertical Integration Facility at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to connect to the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.<\/p>\n

The crewed flight test is targeting launch no earlier than 10:34 p.m. Monday, May 6 from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will fly aboard Starliner and will dock at the space station\u2019s forward port of the Harmony module. The duo will spend about a week at the orbiting laboratory before Starliner makes a parachute and airbag-assisted landing<\/a> in the southwestern United States.<\/p>\n

After successful completion of the mission, NASA will begin the final process of certifying Starliner and its systems for crewed rotation missions to the space station. The Starliner capsule, with a diameter of 15 feet (4.56m) and the capability to steer automatically or manually, will carry four astronauts, or a mix of crew and cargo, for NASA missions to low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n
