Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 04-25-2024 04:52 PM Boeing release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]NASA gives Starliner 'go to proceed'[/b]</font> [i]Team prepares for the spacecraft's first crewed flight to the International Space Station.[/i] Boeing and NASA are proceeding with plans for the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft's Crew Flight Test following a Flight Test Readiness Review at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The readiness review is a standard pre-launch milestone ahead of all human spaceflight missions, and is a forum for technical briefings and discussions for NASA and its partners to align on readiness. Carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, Starliner will launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket no earlier than 10:34 p.m. Eastern time on May 6 from Space Launch Complex-41 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Starliner arrived at Space Launch Complex-41 on April 16 after making the trek from the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center. Starliner was placed atop the Atlas V rocket and is scheduled to be transported a short distance to the pad on May 4. During the test flight, Commander Wilmore and pilot Williams and the Boeing team will test the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner system from pre-launch to docking at the International Space Station, and from undocking to landing and recovery. Following a successful test, NASA will work to complete certification of the Starliner spacecraft and systems for regular crew rotation missions to the space station.</blockquote>
