Boeing aims to launch its first Starliner flight with astronauts on board on Saturday, in a final test of the spacecraft that's been long delayed.
Boeing's first Starliner flight with astronauts on board was called off in the final minutes on Saturday.
The launch was scheduled for 12:25 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Two NASA astronauts are aboard the Starliner capsule, which is would be carried by United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station. After calling off the May attempt, NASA and Boeing found a "small" helium leak in Starliner, causing the agency and company to perform another series of assessments. After analysis, NASA and Boeing believe the source of the leak is in the spacecraft's helium propulsion system. ButBoeing's Starliner spacecraft atop the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket rolls out in Florida on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
