After the failure of Starliner\u2019s first uncrewed test flight back in December 2019, Boeing and NASA are finally ready to give it another go. The aerospace company is now targeting March 29, 2021, to launch Starliner\u2019s second uncrewed flight.<\/p>\n

During the first test flight that took place in 2019, Starliner was supposed to dock with the International Space Station (ISS). Unfortunately, due to a malfunction, the spacecraft ended up in the wrong orbit and was returned to Earth two days later. Boeing has stated that it has learned from the mistakes made during the first test and made the necessary changes to ensure they aren\u2019t repeated.<\/p>\n

Starliner\u2019s second test flight goals are to launch, dock with the ISS, and return safely to the United States about a week later. Successfully completing this test will help prove that Starliner is ready to carry a crew to the ISS in the future.<\/p>\n
