The launch will be one of the final requirements of the aircraft on its path to certification. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will test the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner system, which will include its launch, docking, and its return to Earth.

The aircraft will spend one week at the International Space Station before returning to Earth.
