NASA and Boeing have pushed the target launch date for the first crewed test flight of the Starliner spacecraft from April to May.
The first crewed test flight of Boeing Space’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft has been delayed yet again, but this time it’s not the result of an issue with the vehicle itself.
The most recently announced target date for the launch of the much-anticipated Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT) had been April, but in a message on Friday, NASA said it was now aiming to launch the mission in May “due to space station scheduling,” though it declined to go into detail.
The Starliner flight test will involve NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams launching aboard a United Launch Alliance rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
