Liftoff! NASA\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test Heads to Space Station<\/h2>\n

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket soars from the pad at Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 10:52 a.m. ET Wednesday, June 5, 2024, carrying a Boeing Starliner spacecraft for NASA\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station.

We have liftoff! The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, carrying Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft and NASA astronauts <\/span>Butch Wilmore<\/span><\/a>, commander, and <\/span>Suni Williams<\/span><\/a>, pilot, are on a course to the International Space Station.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The crew is on a roughly <\/span>2<\/span>5.5-hour journey with rendezvous and docking expected at <\/span>12:15 p.m. EDT, Thursday, June 6.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The crew flight test mission makes history in several ways. As the first crewed launch of Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft, Williams is the first female astronaut to fly on the first flight of a crewed spacecraft. The launch also marks the first crewed launch on the ULA Atlas V rocket and the first crewed launch on an Atlas-family class rocket since Gordon Cooper on the last Mercury program flight aboard \u201cFaith 7\u201d in May 1963.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next up is Max Q, or the moment of peak aerodynamic pressure on the rocket.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Launch coverage on NASA+ will end shortly after Starliner orbital insertion, happening about 30 minutes from now. NASA Television will provide <\/span>continuous coverage<\/span><\/a> leading up to docking at the space station and through hatch opening and welcome remarks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
