Starliner Launches first Crew to ISS
On June 5, 2024 at 10:52 AM, America’s newest crew capable spacecraft lifted off from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. 61 years, 21 days, 1 hour, 48 minutes and 1 second since Atlas LV-3B 130-D launched Gordon Cooper into orbit aboard Faith 7, the mighty Atlas V continues the dream, carrying the torch to bring Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams to the International Space Station and fulfilling the promise of the Commercial Crew Program with two dissimilar crew vehicles. Boeing’s Crew Flight Test, the last step in verifying Starliner for regular rotations, is well underway.
