Boeing is set to repeat its Starliner test flight on Friday, July 30, before attempting to launch astronauts to the ISS.
The space agency's new administrator, Bill Nelson, Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, and Associate Administrator Bob Cabana held a briefing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center ahead of the launch.
All three NASA administrators are former astronauts. They spoke about the significance of the upcoming launch and the future of the space program.
NASA and Boeing are targeting launch at 2:53 p.m. EDT with a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
NASA says the five-to-10-day flight test will help prove the Starliner system is ready to carry astronauts to the space station later this year.
