Weather is looking <\/span>beautiful <\/span>for NASA\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test to send two of the agency\u2019s astronauts to the International Space Station. Launch weather officers with the U.S. Space Force\u2019s 45th Weather Squadron predict a <\/span>90%<\/span> chance of favorable weather conditions at the launch pad for a liftoff, scheduled for <\/span>10:52 a.m. EDT.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts <\/span>Butch Wilmore<\/span><\/a>, commander, and <\/span>Suni Williams<\/span><\/a>, pilot, on a ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket will launch from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following a poll for fueling by NASA, Boeing, and ULA, the Atlas V rocket now is being filled with liquid oxygen in the first stage and a combination of liquid oxygen and hydrogen in the Centaur upper stage. RP-1, a rocket-grade kerosene, was loaded into the first stage previously.<\/p>\n

The Starliner spacecraft, named <\/span>Calypso<\/span><\/a>, can fly autonomously or be steered manually and is expected to rendezvous and dock with the space station at <\/span>approximately 12:15 p.m., Thursday, June 6.<\/span> Wilmore and Williams will spend about a week at the orbiting laboratory before the spacecraft makes a <\/span>parachute and airbag-assisted<\/span><\/a> landing in the southwestern United States.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the flight test is complete, NASA will begin the final process of certifying Starliner and its systems for crewed rotation missions to the space station as part of the agency\u2019s <\/span>Commercial Crew Program<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s mission coverage begins at <\/span>6:45 a.m.<\/span> on <\/span>NASA+<\/span><\/a>, NASA Television, the <\/span>NASA app<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>YouTube<\/span><\/a>, and the agency\u2019s <\/span>website<\/span><\/a>.
