A computer scrubbed NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test on Saturday less than 4 minutes before its launch for the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The first crewed launch of Boeing 's Starliner spacecraft was scrubbed Saturday with less than 4 minutes until liftoff. The launch was called off by the computer that oversees the final part of the countdown. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the computer not to load into 'the correct operational configuration,' NASA said. The next launch opportunity is Sunday at 11:03 a.m. CDT .
Boeing looks to overcome delays, setbacks with first crewed flight of Starliner spacecraft This mission, NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test, was attempting to send NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams into orbit Saturday at 11:25 a.m. CDT. The CST-100 Starliner spacecraft is set to launch atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. Their launch time is “instantaneous,” meaning the rocket must launch on time or not at all.
