NASA and Boeing have outlined Starliner’s return to flight, beginning with an uncrewed mission to the International Space Station as early as December 2026. The flight will test changes made after the 2024 Crew Flight Test and gather data needed for certification. NASA aims to return astronauts aboard Starliner by 2028 and plans to certify a new rocket for future missions.

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center will host MAX POWER on November 7–8, 2026, bringing together aviation, spaceflight, emerging technology, and American aerospace history in one large-scale event.
