Boeing Starliner-1 is a planned cargo mission of the Boeing Starliner to the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. It was to be the first operational crewed mission following the Boeing Crew Flight Test (CFT). After the CFT mission encountered significant technical issues, NASA and Boeing restructured the program, and Starliner-1 will now fly as an uncrewed cargo mission. Launch was planned for no earlier than (NET) April 2026, but was then postponed indefinitely.
