NASAs Boeing Crew Flight Test Rendezvous and Docking

Watch live as a crewed Boeing Starliner spacecraft docks to the International Space Station for the first time. Starliner will autonomously dock to the forward-facing port of the station’s Harmony module at approximately 12:15 p.m. EDT (1615 UTC). NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are aboard Starliner, which was launched on Wednesday, June 5 at 10:52 a.m. EDT (1452 UTC) on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The Starliner and crew will remain at the space station for about a week. As part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, the 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.
