Boeing is on the cusp of launching astronauts to the International Space Station for the first time using its Starliner spacecraft. The Crew Flight Test, launching no earlier than May 6, 2024, from Space Launch Complex 41 (SLC41 will dock with the orbiting outpost for a little more than a week before landing in the Southwest of the United States.

Commander Butch Wilmore and Pilot Suni Williams were on hand at Boeing's Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) as their spacecraft rolled out and made its way to be mated with United Launch Alliance's (ULA) Atlas V rocket. The CFT mission is expected to be the final certification flight ahead of Boeing's first, full crew rotation mission to the ISS, Starliner1, which is set to launch in spring 2025.
