SUMMARY:Atlas 5 • CST-100 Starliner Crew Flight Test
DESCRIPTION:A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket\, known as AV-085\, is scheduled to launch from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station\, Florida\, at 4:43 p.m. ET (2043 UTC). This launch will send Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on its first crewed mission\, the Crew Test Flight\, to the International Space Station. The Starliner will dock with the ISS and then return to land in the Western United States. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are set to participate in the mission. The rocket configuration includes two solid rocket boosters and a dual-engine Centaur upper stage. This mission has experienced multiple delays\, initially from August and the first quarter of 2020\, and subsequently from mid-2020\, early 2021\, June 2021\, late 2021\, late 2022\, and various dates in 2023 and 2024. The delays have been due to the need for Boeing to refly the Orbital Flight Test and to implement fixes on the Starliner spacecraft after OFT-2.

ABL Space Systems is gearing up for the second launch of their RS1 rocket\, designated Flight 2\, after the maiden voyage encountered a setback in January. This exciting mission\, currently without a confirmed launch date\, will take place from a launch site suitable for mobile operations – highlighting the unique portability of the RS1 launch system. \nRS1: A Rocket Built for Flexibility \nThe RS1 is a two-stage launch vehicle designed by ABL with a focus on flexibility and affordability. Unlike traditional launch systems\, the RS1 utilizes a containerized ground support system\, allowing for launch preparations from various flat surfaces. This mobility opens doors for launches from a wider range of locations. \nFlight 2: Taking Flight After Lessons Learned \nThe first RS1 flight experienced an engine compartment fire shortly after liftoff\, resulting in mission failure. ABL meticulously investigated the issue\, pinpointing the cause to restricted exhaust flow due to the launch mount design. Flight 2 incorporates significant improvements: \n\nIncreased launch mount height for better exhaust clearance\nRedesigned launch mount for easier transport and assembly\nUpgraded Block 2 version of the RS1 with increased thrust and propellant capacity\n\nThese advancements aim to ensure a successful launch for Flight 2 and pave the way for future missions utilizing the adaptable RS1 platform. \nA Mission to Watch \nWhile the exact launch date remains undisclosed\, Space Launch Schedule will keep you updated. This website is your central hub for everything related to the launch\, providing live updates\, launch visualizations\, and post-launch mission details. Witness the return of the RS1 and the promising future of ABL Space Systems! \nKey Details: \n\nLaunch Date: To be confirmed\nLaunch Vehicle: RS1 Flight 2 (Block 2)\nLaunch Site: Mobile launch location (details to be confirmed)\nPayload: To be determined
