Starliner's First Crewed Flight to ISS Delayed to May Due to Scheduling Conflicts

The mission, critical for NASA's spacecraft certification, is set to send astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the ISS for up to two weeks.

NASA and Boeing have delayed the first crewed flight of the Starliner capsule to early May due to International Space Station (ISS) scheduling conflicts.
The Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission will send NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the ISS for up to two weeks.
The delay is not attributed to any issues with the Starliner spacecraft itself, which has undergone successful technical preparations.
This mission, launching on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, marks a critical step towards NASA certification of the spacecraft for crew rotation missions.
NASA plans to host preview news conferences and media tours in late March to discuss the flight test readiness, objectives, and priorities.
