Step inside the Boeing Starliner spacecraft currently docked at the International Space Station

Join NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams for an exclusive tour of the Boeing Starliner. As the first crew to fly this vehicle, they provide a firsthand look at the spacecraft that aims to expand human access to low Earth orbit.

The Boeing Crew Flight Test is a critical mission for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. By evaluating the entire transportation system—including the ULA Atlas V rocket, the launch infrastructure at Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex-41, and the spacecraft’s in-orbit performance—the agency is gathering the data necessary to certify Starliner for future rotational missions to the International Space Station.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the station on June 6, 2024, following a launch one day prior. This mission serves as a comprehensive validation of the vehicle's capabilities, from launch through to the eventual return to Earth with a crew on board.
