Boeing Starliner Moved to Pad for Crew Launch | International Space Station

Boeing's Starliner and United Launch Alliance's Atlas V have returned to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex-41 for the Crew Flight Test. On May 30, 2024, teams rolled the 172 ft (52 m) tall stack at a pace of ~1 mph (1.6 km/h) along tracks from ULA's Vertical Integration Facility to the launch pad.

Pad teams will perform final checks before the launch scheduled for 12:25 p.m. ET on June 1. Starliner will transport NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station.
