BOEING STARLINER

Boeing is assessing multiple launch dates in August to try again and send its Starliner spacecraft on a test spaceflight to the ISS.

Boeing's Starliner astronaut taxi will have to wait to launch ... again.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson is ready to cheer on the launch of Boeing's Starliner crew capsule on a vital uncrewed test flight this week.

Weather concerns continue as NASA and Boeing look to launch the Starliner capsule on a vital uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station on Tuesday (Aug. 3).

NASA astronauts Raja Chair and Doug Wheelock explain how commercial missions are paving the way for the return to the moon.

The second test flight for Boeing's Starliner crew capsule, known as the Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) mission, won't lift off until late this summer.

Technicians joined the CST-100 Starliner capsule and its service module on Jan. 14, 2021, in preparation for a second uncrewed test flight to the International Space Station. Boeing's second uncrewed test flight of its Starliner spacecraft for NASA will not launch on April 2 after all. On Thursday (March 4), NASA and Boeing jointly announced plans to push back the launch of Starliner's Orbital Flight Test-2 mission from an early April liftoff. "NASA also is weighing the volume of verification and validation analysis required prior to the test flight and the visiting vehicle schedule at the International Space Station," the joint statement read.

Boeing's next test flight of its CST-100 Starliner commercial crew capsule for NASA won't launch until early 2021 due to ongoing software checks, a NASA official said Tuesday (Nov. 10). The uncrewed mission, called Orbital Flight Test 2, was targeted to launch by the end of this year after Boeing's initial test flight failed to reach the International Space Station in December 2019.

Boeing said in an earlier statement that engineers "are assessing next steps." No people are on board the capsule, as the flight was planned to be one of the final key tests before Starliner flies NASA astronauts. "The Boeing Starliner space vehicle experienced an off nominal insertion. Boeing and NASA are working together to review options for the test and mission opportunities available while the Starliner remains in orbit," a Boeing spokesperson said.
