Starliner Will Launch On A United Launch Alliance Atlas V Rocket From Space Launch Complex-41
NASA’s Boeing Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) mission to the International Space Station is currently on a new schedule following issues with the ISS. OFT-2 is the second uncrewed flight for Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The mission is targeted to launch at 1:20 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Aug. 3. Starliner will launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. About 30 minutes after launch, Starliner will perform its orbital insertion burn to begin its daylong trip to the space station.
