The Atlas V rocket will launch the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft and its crew, NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Nicole Mann and Boeing astronaut Chris Ferguson, to the International Space Station for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The booster will be transported to the Atlas Spaceflight Operations Center to await the start of operations for its mission. The CFT will demonstrate Starliner and Atlas V’s ability to safely carry crew to and from the orbiting laboratory.

A crew transportation vehicle carrying NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore drives past the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2024, as part of an integrated crew exercise simulation for NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT). The integrated exercise involved participation from the flight crew, NASA, Boeing, and United Launch Alliance (ULA), and allowed teams to rehearse prelaunch operations beginning roughly four hours before a targeted liftoff. CFT will be the first flight with astronauts to the International Space Station for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Starliner is scheduled to launch atop ULA’s Atlas V rocket no earlier than mid-April 2024.

The Starliner team, including the crane crew, monitors the lift of the crew module on Jan. 19, 2023, at Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility before it is mated onto the new service module ahead of NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test.

The Starliner crew module is hoisted in Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility on Jan. 19, 2023 before being mated to a new service module for NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test.

The Starliner team works to finalize the mate of the crew module and new service module for NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test that will take NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams to and from the International Space Station.

NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Mike Fincke monitor the launch portion of an integrated mission dress rehearsal of Boeing’s uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) from Boeing’s Houston-based Avionics and Software Integration Lab on Thursday, April 22, 2021. Along with NASA astronaut Nicole Mann, Wilmore and Fincke will fly aboard Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft for the company’s Crew Flight Test (CFT) as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

NASA astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore, Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT) commander, checks his helmet during a crew validation test inside the Astronaut Crew Quarters at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 18, 2022. Wilmore, along with NASA astronauts Suni Williams, CFT pilot, and Mike Fincke, CFT backup spacecraft test pilot, with assistance from the Boeing team, successfully completed the validation test during which they suited up and tested out the pressurized crew module to ensure seat fit, suit functionality, cabin temperature, audio system, and day of launch operations. Boeing’s CFT is scheduled to launch in April 2023.
