WEB Starliner Launch: All Systems Go

Countdown to Liftoff

WEB Starliner is scheduled to launch today at 10:52 am EST. The spacecraft's launch campaign began 45 days prior to liftoff, when United Launch Alliance (ULA) started stacking an Atlas V rocket at Space Launch Complex 41.

Prelaunch and Launch Coverage

NASA will provide live coverage of prelaunch and launch activities for the agency's Boeing Crew Flight Test (BFT), which will carry NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Nicole Mann. Coverage will begin at 9:30 am EST on NASA's website and social media channels.

Starliner's Journey

Eager to continue following Starliner's journey, NASA will resume live coverage on Thursday at 9:30 am EST. The Atlas V rocket, carrying astronauts for the first time in six decades, successfully blasted off on Wednesday and safely boosted Starliner into orbit.
