Boeing Starliner-1

Boeing Starliner-1 is a planned cargo mission of the Boeing Starliner to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. It was to be the first operational crewed mission following the Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT). After the CFT mission encountered significant technical issues, NASA and Boeing restructured the program, and Starliner-1 will now fly as an uncrewed cargo mission. As of August 2026, teams continue to work through the technical problems, and NASA is considering appropriate launch opportunities for the Starliner-1 mission. The flight is not scheduled with NASA declining to offer a specific date, though Boeing has stated in a regulatory filing that it is targeting no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2026.
