Flight tests began on May 19. Starliner was launched on a ULA Atlas V rocket. From the Cape Canaveral Space Station in Florida. It docked at the International Space Station on Friday, after which astronauts tested Starliner communications and computer systems and loaded supplies.
Boeing canceled its first attempt to reach the space station in 2019 after software errors. The problem was fixed last summer, but worn valves thwarted the second attempt.
