DATE SET FOR BOEING STARLINER ORBITAL TEST FLIGHT
Hey Space Placers!
BIG NEWS!
NASA and Boeing recently announced that December 17, 2019, will be the anticipated launch date for Orbital Flight Test -1 of Boeing's CST 100 Starliner. It will be an uncrewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
This is a critical step forward for NASA's Commercial Crew Program which was designed to return human spaceflight capability to NASA via commercial partners Boeing and SpaceX/
Both Boeing and SpaceX are way behind schedule in returning American human spaceflight capability to NASA since the Space Shuttle was retired in 2011. A successful mission of Starliner would be a huge step forward.
I will be at sea in the South Pacific when the planned launch date occurs but I will be watching!

MEET VIPER!
Hey Space Placers!
Meet NASA's newest mission to explore the Moon - VIPER.
Slated for December 2022 this lunar water prospector will go to the lunar South Pole to map water ice that we know exists there.
Going to be interesting to see if a lander and this mission can meet such an ambitious deadline. I certainly hope it does.
