Starliner-1 will launch following the successful completion of NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test . CFT will be the first crewed mission of the Boeing Starliner and aims to demonstrate the spacecraft’s ability to achieve NASA certification and safely fly regular crewed missions to the ISS. Boeing is targeting early February 2023 for the launch of its first test flight with astronauts. It is still pending space station program approval, rocket manifest, and confirmation by the Eastern Range. Starliner will launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
After a successful CFT mission, NASA will begin the final process of certifying the Starliner spacecraft and systems for future crewed missions to the space station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station for more than 21 years, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Regular commercial crew rotation missions are needed to enable NASA to continue the important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the station and prepare for future commercial destinations in low-Earth orbit.
