Boeing Crew Flight Test (Boe-CFT) will be the first crewed mission of the Boeing Starliner and the third orbital flight test of the Starliner overall after the two uncrewed orbital flight tests, Boe-OFT and Boe-OFT 2 in 2019 and 2022. The flight was scheduled for liftoff at 2:34 on 7 May UTC (May 6, 2024 at 10:34 PM EDT), but was scrubbed about two hours before liftoff. The cause of the scrub was due to an oxygen valve problem on the United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Atlas V, and not due to any anomaly on the Starliner portion of the rocket. The launch is now scheduled to occur no earlier than 2 June at 16:03 UTC (Sunday, June 2, 2024 at 12:03 PM EDT).

The first crewed flight test was initially planned to occur in 2017. Various delays pushed the launch of the CFT mission to no earlier than 21 July 2023, but Boeing announced in August 2023 that it would be delayed to no earlier than March 2024 due to issues with the parachute system and wiring harnesses and further investigations.

The mission will entail flying a crew of two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station for a one-week test flight and then returning the crew via a ground landing in the American Southwest. The spacecraft was integrated with the Atlas launch vehicle on 16 April 2024 in preparation for launch.
