With the help of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket, the Starliner will send flight commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Sunita Williams to the International Space Station, where they’ll dock for about a week to evaluate the spacecraft.
Boeing’s Starliner made its first launch attempt in May following several delays. But NASA scrubbed the launch due to a faulty oxygen relief valve on the ULA Atlas V rocket’s second stage.
The Starliner’s second attempt on June 1st was canceled just minutes before takeoff after finding issues with one of the ULA’s ground computers. The ULA has since identified the problem and replaced the faulty ground power chassis.
