[b]NASA, Boeing Provide Update on Starliner Crew Flight Test[/b] NASA and Boeing teams continue to make progress in preparing for Starliner's first crewed flight to and from the International Space Station. In a media teleconference Aug. 7, leaders from NASA and Boeing discussed the path forward for the spacecraft, including work to address technical concerns with the vehicle's parachutes and the use of flammable tape that was identified during the agency's certification process to ensure the system meets crew safety requirements. The Starliner team expects to have the Crew Flight Test spacecraft ready in March 2024. A specific target launch date will be set closer to spacecraft readiness, and with consideration of the International Space Station, United Launch Alliance, and Eastern Range availability.
