In December 2019, Boeing\u2019s Starliner crew ship failed to reach the International Space Station (ISS) during its Orbital Flight Test mission. Later it was discovered that multiple errors in Starliner\u2019s software caused the failure. Because of this, if Boeing wanted to test Starliner again, its software would need to achieve a formal requalification.<\/p>\n

Today, Boeing announced that it has completed its formal requalification of Starliner\u2019s flight software and that the crew ship will indeed be partaking in Orbital Flight Test-2. During the second test, which is scheduled to occur in March, Starliner will again be crewless and attempt to reach the ISS.<\/p>\n

Before Starliner embarks on Orbital Test Flight-2, it will also go through hardware and software integrated test events with the launch provider, United Launch Alliance, and NASA\u2019s ISS program. Boeing will then run an end-to-end simulation of the mission at the company\u2019s Advanced System Integration Lab to test the final version of the flight software and model the spacecraft\u2019s expected behavior.<\/p>\n

Starliner\u2019s software test and verification manager, Aaron Kraftcheck, had this to say on the progress the Boeing team has made:<\/p>\n
