NASA and Boeing Prep Starliner and Atlas V Rocket Prep for Historic ISS Journey

NASA is preparing for a crewed flight test of the Starliner spacecraft, which will transport astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station for a week-long mission.

The spacecraft set to carry two NASA astronauts on the agency’s Boeing Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station (ISS) is ready to move from its production facility to the launch site. Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft will roll out of the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 16, to the Vertical Integration Facility at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to connect to the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
