Boe-CFT (Boeing Crew Flight Test) will be the first crewed mission of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner to the International Space Station, and the second orbital flight test of the Starliner overall after the uncrewed flight test.It is scheduled for launch in 2020 [1] and will deliver three to four astronauts to the ISS for five months [2] [3].. We now have our answer. For the details on Boeing flight tests and the schedule, visit https://go.nasa.gov/328xeSL.. Still, it remained unclear whether Boeing would launch another OFT or proceed directly to the next phase of Starliner vetting, a crewed test flight to the ISS. The next generation of American spacecraft and rockets that will launch astronauts to the International Space Station are nearing the final stages of development and evaluation.
NASA Announces Updated Crew Assignment for Boeing Flight Test Contents. *NASA and Boeing provided updates on Oct. 11, 2019. There had been some question as to whether NASA would take the shortcoming in stride and allow for a crewed test flight to commence without Boeing redoing the failed test. Boeing's first crewed space flight may be more than just a test. Boeing’s first crewed flight to the International Space Station may last a lot longer than originally planned — and the mission may have an extra crew member along for the ride, too.
