The briefing participants are:
For CFT, the Starliner spacecraft will launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, returning approximately eight days later in White Sands, New Mexico. The flight will carry two #NASA astronaut test pilots, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and #suniwilliams, on the demonstration flight to prove the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner system.
Following a successful test flight with astronauts, #NASA will begin the final process of certifying the Starliner spacecraft and systems for regular crew rotation flights to the space station.
