Starliner Astronauts Visit Kennedy Space Center

From left, commercial crew astronauts Chris Ferguson, Suni Williams, Eric Boe, Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada pose with an employee at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. The astronauts visited with Boeing and United Launch Alliance employees at KSC about a week after their crew assignments on Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner were announced by NASA. They stopped by Boeing’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) at KSC and Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to view progress on the Starliner and the launch pad. Boe, Ferguson and Mann will fly on the Starliner in Boeing’s upcoming Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station (ISS). Cassada and Williams are assigned to Boeing’s first operational mission to the ISS. Photo credit: Boeing
