The two NASA astronauts aboard, flight commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams, will test the endtoend capabilities of the Starliner system, including launch, docking, and return to Earth. After a oneweek stay docked to the International Space Station, the Starliner and crew will land under parachutes in the western United States. The launch attempt on May 6 was scrubbed due to a faulty oxygen relief valve observation on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket Centaur second stage. The launch attempt on June 1 was scrubbed due to an observation of a ground launch sequencer. Launch coverage on NASA+ wil
