Boeing will attempt to launch its historic Starliner spacecraft with two astronauts aboard to the International Space Station from Florida on Wednesday morning.
Boeing successfully launched two astronauts to the International Space Station from Florida aboard its Starliner spacecraft for the first time on Wednesday morning.The rocket lifted off at 10:52 a.m. ET from Cape Canaveral, with NASA astronauts, Sunita "Suni" Williams, 58, and Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 61, on board.Wednesday’s launch was the third attempt with astronauts since early May, coming after a pair of rocket-related problems, most recently last weekend.
According to Boeing, this launch will demonstrate the Starliner's launch-to-landing capabilities and "prove the team’s readiness to achieve NASA certification and fly long-duration missions for the agency." Williams and Wilmore will participate in human research studies on the physiological impacts of space flight and carry some hardware for future studies. Because this is Boeing's Crew Flight Test , researchers will pay extra attention to how all systems work.
