NASA and Boeing are targeting Tuesday, Aug. 3, for the company’s Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) – Boeing’s second uncrewed flight test for the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket, with the uncrewed CST-100 Starliner atop, is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Station’s Space Launch Complex 41. As part of the prelaunch activities, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson answered questions from reporters and social media alongside other NASA, Boeing, and ULA leaders. Also participating were the three astronauts selected to fly on Boeing’s Crew Flight Test, which will be the first flight for Starliner with astronauts aboard. The OFT-2 mission will provide valuable data toward NASA certifying Boeing’s transportation system for crewed flights to and from the International Space Station.
