OFT-2 status update<\/h2>\n

OFT-2 kicked off on Thursday, May 19, at 6:54 p.m. EDT when United Launch Alliance\u2019s Atlas V rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of the NASA, Boeing and United Launch Alliance teams who have worked so hard to see Starliner on its way to the International Space Station,\u201d said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. \u201cThrough adversity, our teams have continued to innovate for the benefit of our nation and all of humanity. I look forward to a successful end-to-end test of the Starliner spacecraft, which will help enable missions with astronauts aboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a callout from mission control that Starliner\u2019s MET timer was functioning as intended, the spacecraft completed its insertion burn in the correct orbit to lead it to the ISS. OFT-1 in 2019 successfully launched, but issues with the spacecraft caused it to be on the wrong trajectory to the space station, resulting in its early return home.<\/p>\n
