On Wednesday, the spacecraft is scheduled to roll out to the pad in preparation for Boeing’s second uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
NASA and Boeing have spent 8 months doing a deep dive into a valve problem that delayed an upcoming flight test for NASA’s commercial crew program.
The mission will be a test of the spacecraft and rocket from launch, to docking and return to Earth, in preparation for Starliner’s first flight with astronauts aboard.
