NASA and Boeing set the OFT-2 mission to launch no earlier than December (announcement dated 2020-08-28).
Boeing completed an integrated mission dress rehearsal for OFT-2 using a simulator at a Boeing facility in Houston that covered activities starting 26 hours before launch and continuing through landing, including docking and undocking from the station.
Boeing agreed to fly OFT-2 after the original OFT mission in December 2019 failed to dock the Starliner spacecraft with the International Space Station.
The OFT-2 mission will launch from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The second uncrewed Starliner test flight, OFT-2, is scheduled to launch on an Atlas V on 2021-07-30 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
