NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who are set to launch to the International Space Station on Monday, May 6, entered pre-flight quarantine in preparation for the agency\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test mission<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Flight crew health stabilization is a standard process ahead of any human spaceflight mission to ensure the health and safety of the crew prior to liftoff, as well as prevent sickness of the astronauts at the space station. During quarantine, astronaut contact is limited, and most interactions are remote \u2013 although family and some launch team members also may be in quarantine or cleared before interacting with the crew.<\/p>\n

Wilmore and Williams will launch aboard Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft on a ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida as part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program<\/a>. The duo will make history as the first people to fly on the Starliner spacecraft.<\/p>\n

Wilmore and Williams will quarantine at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston before traveling to the agency\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida no earlier than Thursday, April 25, where they\u2019ll remain in quarantine until launch.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, teams also are preparing for the Flight Test Readiness Review, which will take place over the course of two days \u2013 Wednesday, April 24, and April 25. That review brings together teams from NASA, Boeing, ULA, and its international partners to verify mission readiness including all systems, facilities, and teams that will support the end-to-end test of the Starliner.<\/p>\n

Following a successful flight test, NASA will begin certifying the Starliner system for regular crew rotation missions to space station for the agency.<\/p>\n

Launch is scheduled no earlier than 10:34 p.m. EDT May 6.<\/p>\n
