Credit: NASASuccessful conclusion of a crew workout simulation by NASA astronauts brings Boeings Starliner spacecraft closer to its first manned flight to the International Space Station.NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore effectively completed an incorporated crew exercise simulation that moves Boeings Starliner spacecraft one action closer to its first flight with astronauts to the International Space Station.Targeted for launch no earlier than mid-April 2024, NASAs Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT) will fly Williams and Wilmore to the orbiting laboratory for about up to 2 weeks. Liftoff will be aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore emerge from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at the companys Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, as part of an integrated team workout simulation for NASAs Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT). The exercise began with Wilmore and Williams walking through suit-up treatments inside the Astronaut Crew Quarters in NASA Kennedys Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout building.Following this, they took an elevator down to the ground flooring and exited the same double doors they will on launch day where their team transportation lorry was waiting to carry them to the launch pad.
