NASA and Boeing Ready for CFT’s Second Attempt
NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and provider Boeing are targeting Saturday, June 1 2024 for another attempt to launch the Boeing Crew Flight Test mission, the final step in certifying the Starliner spacecraft for regular flights to the International Space Station. Ongoing analysis of a helium leak on Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft Calypso forced NASA and Boeing to delay the Crew Flight Test after completing a majority of the countdown on May 6th, however, mission planners are now comfortable proceeding forwards to flight.
