Live from the International Space Station: Watch a tour of the Boeing Starliner with NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the first crew to fly on the spacecraft.
Wilmore and Williams arrived at the station aboard Starliner on Thursday, June 6, one day after the spacecraft was launched on a ULA (United Launch Alliance) Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
As part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, the Boeing Crew Flight Test will help validate the transportation system, launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, in-orbit operations capabilities, and return to Earth with astronauts aboard as the agency prepares to certify Starliner for rotational missions to the space station.
