Get ready for a thrilling chapter in space exploration as Boeing prepares to launch its first-ever Starliner astronaut mission for NASA in May 2024. This critical test flight aims to demonstrate the spacecraft's capabilities and pave the way for future human spaceflight missions.

Renowned NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will embark on this historic mission aboard the Starliner, which will be launched into orbit by a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket.
