The Starliner spacecraft, manufactured by Boeing, is ready to take off tomorrow on its first manned flight. It will, for the first time, transport astronauts from the US space agency NASA to the International Space Station, several years after SpaceX achieved this achievement. Similar. American astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams are scheduled to launch tomorrow from Cape Canaveral in Florida inside the “Starliner” capsule, which will be propelled into orbit by an “Atlas V” rocket created by the United Launch Alliance.
The two astronauts, both from the US Navy, previously visited the International Space Station twice, on a space shuttle and then in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
