well, weather permitting, tonight Boeing will launch their first manned mission to the International Space Station at 10:00 Eastern. The Starliner will blast off from Cape Canaveral in Florida, several years later than planned. There had been all manner of setbacks in the spacecraft development, but NASA say they are confident it is now ready to go. Two of their most experienced astronauts will be on board, Sunny Williams and Bch Wilmore. And if successful, the Boeing will become the second private firm able to transport crew to and from the space station alongside Elon Musk's SpaceX. Here's Palab go ready for launch right on top is Boeing Starliner spacecraft. It's the latest private sector launch to the International Space Station. This is Starliner's first test flight with a crew. It's 5m high and 4 and 1/2m wide. It can carry up to seven astronauts into low Earth orbit, but this time it'll be carrying just two. During the mission, the crew will test the space suits and seats, assess the onboard life support, and

navigation systems and evaluate the system that moves cargo to the International Space Station. If all goes to plan, Starliner will be certified for regular supply missions and lift off its first uncrewed test flight in 2019. Didn't make it to the space station because of a software fault. A second attempt in 2022 did make it, but there were issues with some of the thrusters and the craft's cooling system. And on Earth, Boeing has been facing growing scrutiny because of faults with some of its aircraft. This is the big one. This is the first test flight with humans on board. They've had few problems on earlier test flights, I think it's fair to say. So, um, there's a lot riding on this one. The astronauts in their new blue lightweight suits have reassured those close to them. The faults have been fixed and the spacecraft is safe to fly. We're here because we're already ready and it, you know, our families and friends have heard about it along the way, you know, we've talked about all these, the issues that.

we've encountered, and um, I think they're happy and proud that we've been part of the process to fix it all. The astronauts will dop 24 hours after liftoff and return after 10 days. They'll experience Starliner Landing system, which will touch down on land in the desert of the southwestern United States. Palab go BBC News. Well, let's speak to Dr. Jennifer Millard, astronomer at Fifth Star Labs. Hello, welcome to you. Um, look, finding faults in test flights is what it's all about, but surely this went beyond the norm, didn't it? So there were probably more issues than they would have liked. However, as you said, these are test flights, you know, the previous uncrewed ones, and of course, this one being a crude test flight. We do expect problems to come up, but even though there were numerous ones, none of them, especially on the second encre test flight, were catastrophic. So had astronauts been on board, they would have been safe, because although the cooling system was a little bit over-enthusiastic, they think that that's

probably because there weren't any astronauts on board, so there wasn't any body heat coming off them, and it kind of fooled the system a little bit. But they would put Butch and Sunny on it unless they thought those had been ironed out, would they exactly? Although we do take risks when it comes to space flight and development, as soon as astronauts are involved, they don't do those risks. They will not put an astronaut on board a capture un yes unless they are absolutely confident that those astronauts are going to come back safely. So what are we going to see tonight? How does this work and how different is it to the rocket and the capsule we're familiar with now from the SpaceX program? So this rocket, it's the first time this Rocket's actually going to be launching astronauts, which is very fun. So we're not going to see the kind of boosters flying back like we see with the SpaceX rocket, but it'll be similar in the sense of, you know, we'll see the

rocket go up. It'll take several minutes to get up into orbit, and then yeah, about a day until they actually dock with the International Space Station. We're watching the animation as it goes up. This is from the Boeing Company. What does it mean for NASA to have two commercial competitors ready and able to taxi people to the space station? I think there's two points, really. First of all, we've got some redundancy, and then, of course, there's the money factor. So, with the redundancy, if something is to go wrong with the Dragon capsule from SpaceX, it has to be grounded for whatever reason. Then, as long as this goes well, this test flight, and Boeing gets certified, then there is a second option. So, there's backup. And then, when it comes to money, well, if you haven't got a monopoly, so if SpaceX now loses this monopoly, they can't be charging whatever they like because Boeing can come in and undercut them, and then SpaceX can undercut them. And so, hopefully, prices will come down, and whenever we're going

into space. It's taxpayers' money, right? So, the better value for money that we can get, everyone wins, really. But the role of the private sector is growing now all the time. Are we in a new era of human exploration? We are certainly. It's absolutely a new paradigm for space exploration. When it comes to people, NASA are purposely transferring kind of low Earth orbit activities onto the commercial sector in order to free up their time and also their funds as well. These companies have been given a finite budget to develop these capsules, and then any extra money, well, that's got to come from Boeing, it's got to come from SpaceX. So, kind of constrains NASA's budgets. It also means that they can focus on other technologies and kind of deep space exploration. So, they can focus on the deep scientific technologies needed to get us to put people back on the moon, for example, also then eventually get us to Mars and all of the wonderful deep space telescopes that we're developing like the recently launched A2 Space Telescope, all of that.

kind of AC activity. And if it goes well tonight, um 3:00 Eastern, if you want to set your alarms for when it blasts off, um then what I mean how, how will Boeing step up the program from that point onwards. So the certification process will take a number of months because they're going to have to make sure that all of the tests are completed successfully. So these astronauts, you know, they're not going to be lazing about on this journey. They're going to be really putting this capture through its paces, you know, making it forget where it is, putting it on an incorrect orbit to see if it fix itself, and see how the manual controls work. There'll be testing evacuation procedures. All of those have to be verified. So then the first crew's missions, we're looking at Spring sometime next year. And then it'll be regular joints up there for cargo and for crew, right? Someone's just whispered in my ear that it's, uh, 3 UK time, 10 Eastern, uh, so reset your alarms to what I just told you a few minutes ago, um.

thank you very much for coming on the program Jennifer. Will you be watching it? I'm going to set an alarm and as long as it stays on track, tell me what it's like. I won't be, I'm on duty tomorrow. I maybe we'll speak later about what it was like. Dr. Jennifer Miller, thank you for coming on the program.

보잉의 첫 국제 우주 정거장 유인 임무

보잉은 플로리다의 케이프 커내버럴에서 국제 우주 정거장으로 첫 유인 임무를 발사할 예정입니다.

두 명의 우주비행사를 태운 스타라이너 우주선은 이번 임무에서 다양한 시스템을 테스트할 예정입니다.

이 비행의 성공 여부는 보잉에게 매우 중요한데, 이는 이전에 승무원 없이 비행하는 데 어려움을 겪은 후 처음으로 사람이 탑승한 시험 비행이기 때문입니다.

스타라이너 시험 비행 관련 문제

스타라이너 시험 비행에는 예상보다 많은 문제가 있었지만 치명적인 문제는 없었고 우주 비행사들은 안전했을 것입니다.

우주비행사의 체온이 없어 냉각 시스템이 영향을 받았지만 위험에 처하지는 않았을 것입니다.

다가오는 스타라이너의 착륙 시스템은 미국 남서부 사막의 지상에 착륙할 예정이기 때문에 SpaceX 프로그램과는 다를 것입니다.

두 개의 상업용 공간 택시 제공업체가 있다는 것의 중요성

두 개의 상업용 우주 택시 제공업체가 있으면 한 회사에 문제가 발생할 경우 백업 옵션이 제공되므로 이중화할 수 있습니다.

또한 경쟁을 통해 독점을 방지하고 납세자에게 더 나은 가치를 제공할 수 있으므로 우주 여행 가격을 낮출 수 있는 잠재력도 있습니다.

민간 부문이 인류 탐사에 참여함으로써 NASA는 심우주 탐사 및 과학 기술에 자원을 집중할 수 있는 새로운 시대를 맞이하게 되었습니다.

보잉의 AC 프로그램과 향후 단계

보잉의 AC 프로그램은 오늘 밤 동부 표준시 3시에 발사될 예정이며, 이는 수개월이 소요될 인증 절차의 시작을 알리는 신호탄입니다.

우주비행사들은 수동 제어, 대피 절차 및 궤도 조정을 포함한 엄격한 테스트를 수행하게 됩니다.

첫 번째 승무원 탑승 임무는 봄에 이루어질 예정이며, 이후 화물과 승무원을 위한 정기 비행이 이어질 예정입니다.
