NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore, left, Mike Fincke, right, welcome the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket that will transport them and NASA astronaut Nicole Mann to the International Space Station on Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft for the company’s Crew Flight Test (CFT). The Atlas V rocket arrived at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS), Florida on June 21, 2021, after its journey on a rocket-delivery ship from ULA’s manufacturing factory in Decatur, Alabama. Starliner’s first flight with astronauts aboard, CFT will launch from Space Launch Complex-41 at CCSFS. The flight test will demonstrate the ability of the Atlas V and Starliner to safely carry astronauts to and from the space station for the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.
