Summary

NASA, Boeing, and United Launch Alliance scrubbed this week’s launch of Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2), due to unexpected valve position indications in the Starliner’s propulsion system. The new launch date has not been determined. The OFT-2 mission will be an end-to-end test of the Starliner spacecraft from launch to docking, to atmospheric re-entry and a desert landing in the western United States. Also, at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, preparations continue for next month’s launch of Landsat 9. The launch will continue the nearly 50-year legacy of previous Landsat missions when it lifts off Sept. 16, 2021, atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg. The launch is managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
