Watch a replay of our live coverage as a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket made another attempt to launch Boeing's Starliner capsule on a crucial test flight with NASA astronauts onboard for the very first time. Liftoff from pad 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station was scrubbed on Saturday, June 1 2024 due to a ground launch sequencer problem. It was the second launch attempt for the mission. The flight was delayed from May 6 due to trouble with a rocket valve and then a helium leak in the capsule's propulsion system.

Aboard for the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission are commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and pilot Sunita Williams. If all goes according to plan, the Starliner capsule will dock to the International Space Station the day after launch for a week-long stay.
