The test series involved firing the engine through similar in-flight conditions the spacecraft experienced during its approach to the space station, as well as various stress-case firings for what is expected during Starliner\u2019s undocking and the deorbit burn that will position the spacecraft for a landing in the southwestern United States. Teams are analyzing the data from these tests, and leadership plans to discuss initial findings during the briefing.<\/p>\n NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the orbiting laboratory on June 6, after lifting off aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on June 5. Since their arrival, the duo has been integrated with the Expedition 71 crew, performing scientific research and maintenance activities as needed.<\/p>\n As part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program, the mission is an end-to-end test of the Starliner system. Following a successful return to Earth, NASA will begin the process of certifying Starliner for rotational missions to the International Space Station. Through partnership with American private industry, NASA is opening access to low Earth orbit and the space station to more people, science, and commercial opportunities.<\/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> NASA and Boeing will host a news conference with mission leadership at 11:30 a.m. EDT Thursday, July 25, to provide the latest status of the agency\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test aboard the International Space Station.
