Starliner: Ready for Launch

Capabilities and Economic Impact

Starliner is a versatile spacecraft designed to be compatible with multiple launch vehicles, including Atlas V, Delta IV, Falcon 9, and Vulcan Centaur. Its economic impact extends across the United States, with over 425 suppliers in 37 states.

Safe and Secure

Starliner's pusher abort system ensures safety in the event of a launch emergency. Now, United Launch Alliance (ULA) prepares to roll Starliner and its Atlas V launch vehicle back to their vertical integration facility for the second launch campaign.

Countdown to Liftoff

Starliner's launch campaign officially begins 45 days before liftoff, with ULA stacking an Atlas V at Space Launch Complex 41. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will embark on this mission aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket for NASA.
