NASA teams joined Boeing on April 16 to move the Starliner spacecraft out of the company\u2019s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility at the agency\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the launch site.<\/p>\n

Technicians lifted and connected the spacecraft to the top of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at the Vertical Integration Facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station ahead of NASA\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test<\/a> mission.<\/p>\n

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are the first to launch aboard Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station<\/a>. Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than 10:34 p.m. EDT Monday, May 6, from Cape Canaveral\u2019s Space Launch Complex-41. The astronauts will spend about a week at the orbiting laboratory before the crew capsule 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.<\/p>\n

Wilmore and Williams will wrap up flight preparations in Houston and arrive at NASA Kennedy no earlier than Thursday, April 25.<\/p>\n
