Boeing badly needs a space win for its Starliner venture, a years-delayed program with more than $US1 billion in cost overruns.
Boeing 's new CST-100 Starliner astronaut capsule is poised for its first launch after a much-delayed crew test flight.
As the final flight test for Starliner, NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test will validate the transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, in-orbit operational capabilities, and return to Earth with astronauts aboard. If all goes to plan, Williams and Wilmore will be welcomed aboard the ISS by its seven-member resident crew, currently consisting of four US astronauts and three Russian cosmonauts.
