View Date:2024-12-23 17:13:02
Editor's Note: The Boeing Starliner launch has been scrubbed for Saturday June 1st. Click here for the latest information.
After a series of delays, the first crewed mission of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner is scheduled to launch this weekend.
USA TODAY is providing live coverage of this event, which is scheduled to launch Saturday at 12:25 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. You can watch the launch live at the embedded video at the top of the page or on USA TODAY's YouTube channel.
You can also watch the launch through NASA via NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, on YouTube or on the agency's website.
The Starliner's launch has been delayed multiple times from its initial May 6 liftoff by a series of technical issues, an oxygen leak and a helium leak from the capsule's propulsion system.
If the launch happens as scheduled Saturday, the Boeing Crew Flight Test will carry two NASA astronauts: Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, both former Navy pilots, to and from the International Space Station. NASA says the Starliner is expected to dock to the forward-facing port of the ISS' Harmony module at approximately 1:50 p.m. on Sunday, June 2.
Once on board, Wilmore and Williams will stay at the ISS for about a week to test the Starliner spacecraft and its subsystems.
