A copy of NASA\u2019s media accreditation policy<\/a> is online.<\/p>\n NASA and Boeing continue to evaluate Starliner\u2019s propulsion system performance and five small helium leaks in the spacecraft\u2019s service module, gathering as much data as possible while docked to the International Space Station. Once all the necessary ground testing and associated data analysis is complete, leaders from NASA and Boeing will conduct an agency-level review before returning from the orbiting complex.<\/p>\n As part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore<\/a> and Suni Williams<\/a> lifted off on June 5, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on an end-to-end test of the Starliner system. The crew docked to the forward-facing port of the station\u2019s Harmony module on June 6.<\/p>\n Since their arrival on June 6, Wilmore and Williams have completed half of all hands-on research time<\/a> conducted aboard the space station, allowing their crewmates to prepare for the departure of Northrop Grumman\u2019s Cygnus spacecraft. NASA also will hold an Earth to space news conference<\/a> at 11 a.m., Wednesday, July 10, with the Crew Flight Test astronauts to discuss the mission.<\/p>\n NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program is delivering on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. This partnership is opening access to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station to more people, science, and commercial opportunities. The space station remains the springboard to NASA\u2019s next great leap in space exploration, including future missions to the Moon under Artemis, and ultimately, to Mars.<\/p>\n For NASA\u2019s blog and more information about the mission, visit:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/commercialcrew<\/a><\/p>\n -end-<\/p>\n Josh Finch \/ Jimi Russell Steve Siceloff \/ Danielle Sempsrott \/ Stephanie Plucinsky Leah Cheshier \/ Sandra Jones Powered by WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n Get The Details…<\/a> Leadership from NASA and Boeing will participate in a media briefing at 12:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday, July 10, to discuss the agency\u2019s Crew Flight Test at the International Space Station.
