NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test Astronaut Question and Answer Session
Join NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams for a question-and-answer session ahead of their launch aboard Boeing Starliner’s Crew Flight Test. Set for Monday, May 6, 2024, at 10:34 p.m. EDT (0234 UTC, May 7) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, this is the first flight of this spacecraft to carry humans.
As the final flight test for Starliner, NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test will validate the transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, in-orbit operational capabilities, and return to Earth with astronauts aboard. This is Boeing’s second flight to the International Space Station and third Starliner flight test overall, following an Orbital Flight Test—the uncrewed mission also known as OFT-2—in May 2022. Boeing also completed pad abort demonstration in November 2019.
