The redo of the uncrewed test launch of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner to the International Space Station is now targeting either an August or September liftoff from Cape Canaveral.
NASA and Boeing announced the new target window this weekend as competitor SpaceX lines up its second operational flight of its commercial crew spacecraft later this week.
The two companies had developed their respective spacecraft to allow NASA to launch its astronauts from U.S. soil for the first time since the end of the Space Shuttle program. Between 2011 and the first SpaceX crew test flight in 2020, NASA relied on Russia to get crew to the ISS.
