Boeing and its launch partners are making final preparations for the next test flight of the beleaguered Starliner CST100 spacecraft.
Orbital Flight Test-2, currently slated for May 19, is expected to demonstrate the Starliner’s human transportation capabilities in a crewless mission to the International Space Station .
After multiple fixes were made to the spacecraft’s software, NASA and Boeing had intended to attempt a second test flight in August last year. But the mission was scrubbed close to launch after engineers discovered valve problems linked to the Starliner’s propulsion system. The Dual Engine Centaur was hoisted atop #AtlasV today for ULA's 150th mission. The rocket is ready to begin pre-flight testing ahead of liftoff on May 19 with @BoeingSpace's #Starliner for the #OFT2 mission. The highly anticipated test flight will see the Starliner dock with the ISS before returning to Earth in a parachute-assisted landing in White Sands Missile Range in Texas five days after launch.
