[b]Starliner and Atlas V Return to the Launch Pad[/b] Boeing's Starliner spacecraft and United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Atlas V rocket have returned to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This morning (May 30), the Boeing and ULA teams rolled the 172-foot (52-meter) tall stack, with the Starliner spacecraft mated atop the Atlas V rocket, from ULA’s Vertical Integration Facility back to the launch pad at a steady pace of about 1 mph (1.6 kph). Next, Pad Team members will commence the final checks and preparations. These crucial hours leading up to the Crew Flight Test (CFT) launch will involve a series of meticulous inspections and tests, demonstrating the precision and care taken to ensure the vehicle's readiness and safety. The flight test is scheduled to launch no earlier than Saturday, June 1, at 12:25 p.m. EDT.
