Boeing subsystem experts and engineers have been working in shifts to provide around-the-clock monitoring of the Starliner spacecraft from their positions on console in Boeing’s Mission Control Center (BMCC) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida since initial powerup and activation operations began at 3:30 a.m. ET on Friday, May 31. All systems are flight ready ahead of the next Crew Flight Test (CFT) launch attempt on Wednesday, June 5, at 10:52 a.m. ET.

Commanding of the vehicle will come from the BMCC team until handover to Starliner mission controllers in Houston at about L-3 hours, 55 minutes on launch day. BMCC teammates will continue working in shifts to provide engineering support to flight control teams until quiescent mode while Starliner is docked to the International Space Station.

Tune into the joint NASA/Boeing Starliner broadcast at boeing.com/starliner#watch beginning at 6:45 a.m. ET, running continuously through hatch open and crew remarks at the International Space Station.
