NASA Astronauts Prepare for First Crewed Flight of Boeing Space Vehicle
Two astronaut test-pilots will conduct NASA’s first crewed test-flight of Boeing’s Starliner space-vehicle. The mission will take NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station, where they will live and work in Earth orbit for approximately two-weeks. Wilmore, a veteran of two spaceflights and 178-days in space, will command the mission, while flying duties will be seen to by Williams, herself a veteran of two space missions.
