Boeing Starliner on Track to its First Astronaut Flight this Spring, NASA Says
Launch Day Coverage to Occur on Agency's Website
Boeing is scheduled to launch its first-ever Starliner astronaut mission for NASA as early as May 6, 2024, on a critical test flight to demonstrate its capabilities. Launch day coverage of the mission will be available on the agency's website.
Economic Impact of Starliner
The Starliner project has a significant economic impact across the United States, with more than 425 suppliers in 37 states. The system's pusher abort system provides safe escape options for the crew in the event of an emergency.
Boeing Delays First Astronaut Launch
In a previous setback, Boeing delayed the first Starliner astronaut launch indefinitely due to safety concerns with the parachute wiring. However, recent updates indicate that these issues have been resolved, and the mission is now back on track.
