Boeing Starliner 1st Astronaut Flight: Live Updates
NASA recently announced that Boeing’s first-ever Starliner astronaut mission for NASA has been rescheduled for June 5th. The mission, known as the Starliner Crew Flight Test, aims to demonstrate the commercial space capsule’s capability to transport crews to and from the International Space Station. The liftoff is scheduled for 10:52 a.m. EDT on June 5th from Space Launch Complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Follow our live updates of the Boeing Crew Flight Test mission from launch to landing.
The delay in the launch was due to an observation of a ground launch sequencer issue, prompting NASA, Boeing, and ULA to skip a launch opportunity on June 2nd and reschedule for June 5th. The launch window on June 5th will be closely monitored by the mission control team to ensure a successful liftoff.
CEO of United Launch Alliance, Tory Bruno, mentioned that a faulty computer card led to the recent Starliner launch abort just minutes before liftoff. The team is working diligently to resolve the issue and prepare for the next launch attempt on Sunday, July 2nd. Despite the setback, the team remains focused and committed to a successful mission.
Following today’s scrub of Boeing’s first crewed Starliner launch, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have exited their spacecraft. Mission operators are working to configure the launch tower for a successful egress from the space capsule. The astronauts are currently in quarantine awaiting the next launch attempt.
As the Starliner launch countdown was halted, engineers worked to address a ground launch sequencer issue, leading to the launch scrub. With the spacecraft back on external power, the team is assessing the situation to determine the next steps for a successful launch attempt.
The Starliner Crew Access Arm has been retracted, and the flight control team is addressing a suit fan glitch reported by the astronauts. Despite these challenges, the crew remains focused on the mission as they prepare for liftoff.
In preparation for the launch, Starliner astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, have completed their final checks and are ready for liftoff. The crew is strapped in and awaiting the final countdown before their journey to the International Space Station.
With the launch of Boeing’s first crewed Starliner mission approaching, the crew has undergone suit checks and final preparations for liftoff. The team is gearing up for a historic mission to the International Space Station, marking a significant milestone in commercial space travel.
The Boeing Starliner spacecraft is fueled up and ready for its first crewed mission to the International Space Station. The crew is set to depart for the launch pad shortly, with liftoff scheduled for 12:25 p.m. EDT. Weather conditions are favorable for the launch, with a 90% chance of success.
As the countdown continues, mission operators are working through valve issues in the Atlas Centaur upper stage to ensure a smooth liftoff for the Starliner spacecraft. The team is assessing and testing fixes to address the problem and proceed with the launch as planned.
With the first crewed launch of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft just days away, the team is gearing up for a historic liftoff to the International Space Station. The crew is completing their final preparations for the mission, with liftoff scheduled for May 6 at 10:34 p.m. EDT.
As the launch day for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft approaches, the first crewed flight test is set to make history with NASA astronauts aboard. The mission aims to certify Starliner for future crewed missions to the International Space Station, marking a significant milestone in commercial space travel.
NASA has released its launch schedule for Boeing Starliner’s historic first flight with astronauts, scheduled for May 6 at 10:34 p.m. EDT. The mission will certify the spacecraft for future missions to the ISS, with live coverage available for all major events leading up to liftoff.
Boeing Starliner astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have completed their dress rehearsal ahead of the historic launch to the ISS. The crew is preparing for liftoff on May 6, marking a significant milestone for commercial space travel and the future of crewed missions to the ISS.
