ATLAS 5The next United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral is TBD. An Atlas 5, flying with two solid rocket boosters, will launch the second test flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, OFT-2, to the ISS on TBD. An Atlas 5 with no boosters will launch NASA's Lucy asteroid mission on October 16 at 5:34am EDT. An Atlas 5 with the maximum five solid rocket boosters will launch the third Space Test Program mission, STP-3, for the U.S. Space Force on TBD. An Atlas 5 with one solid rocket booster will launch the USSF-8 mission for the U.S. Space Force on TBD.FALCON 9The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral will launch the CRS-23 Cargo Dragon resupply mission to the ISS from pad 39A on August 28 at 3:37am EDT. The launch time gets 22-26 minutes earlier each day. A Falcon 9 will launch the Crew Dragon Inspiration4 private spaceflight-participant mission from pad 39A on September 15, likely in the morning EDT. A Falcon Heavy from pad 39A will launch the USSF-44 mission for the U.S. Space Force on October. And a Falcon 9 from pad 39A will launch four astronauts aboard Crew Dragon Crew-3 to the ISS on October 31 around 1:30am EDT. Other upcoming Falcon 9 launches include Starlink missions on dates TBD.
Starliner Returning to Factory to Resolve Valve IssueAugust 13, 2021Today, Boeing informed NASA that the company will destack its CST-100 Starliner from the Atlas V rocket and return the spacecraft to the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) for deeper-level troubleshooting of four propulsion system valves that remain closed after last Tuesday’s scrubbed launch.Starliner has sat atop the Atlas V rocket in ULA’s Vertical Integration Facility since August 4, where Boeing teams have worked to restore functionality to the affected valves.The relocation of the spacecraft to the C3PF will require Boeing, NASA and United Launch Alliance to agree on a new launch date once the valve issue is resolved.“Mission success in human spaceflight depends on thousands of factors coming together at the right time,” said John Vollmer, vice president and program manager, Boeing’s Commercial Crew Program. “We’ll continue to work the issue from the Starliner factory and have decided to stand down for this launch window to make way for other national priority missions.”Boeing will continue to provide information and updates at www.StarlinerUpdates.com as it becomes available.
“It’s pretty early to speculate on when the flight might end up,” said Steve Stich, NASA commercial crew program manager. “When we get to a point where we understand the cause and the fixes, we will work hard to find that slot and get the vehicle flown as soon as we can.”The launch of OFT-2, they acknowledged, could slip into 2022, or more than two years after the original, flawed OFT mission. “It’s probably too early to say whether it’s this year or not,” Vollmer said. “If we could fly this year, it would be fantastic.”

The inflatable decelerator is scheduled to launch with a polar-orbiting satellite in September 2022. After the satellite makes its way to orbit, LOFTID will descend back to Earth from low-Earth orbit to demonstrate the inflatable aeroshell, or heat shield, can slow down and survive re-entry.
