Space ship Starliner after years of problems, postponements and delays, it has reached its most important test yet. After countless tests and validations, dominated by two unmanned flights to orbit, comes the CFT mission, which will see humans aboard the spacecraft for the first time – American astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams. For the residents of Central Europe, the launch of the Atlas V rocket is scheduled for a very inconvenient time of 4:34, but I still believe that you will not miss our live and Czech-commented broadcast.
Final overview:
- Start time and date: May 7 at 4:34 am CEST
- Start location: Ramp SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida
- Rocket: Atlas V (N22 version)
- Cargo: Starliner manned spacecraft
- Cargo weight: approx. 13,000 kg
- Delivery Orbit: low Earth orbit (51.6° inclination to the equator)
We will start our broadcast about 30 minutes before the start, i.e. around 4:05 CEST. If you’re interested in joining the chat, click on the video title in the upper left corner to take you to the YouTube page for that broadcast.
