Following their safe arrival at the International Space Station, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will participate in a pair of Earth to space calls Monday, June 10, regarding their historic mission aboard Boeing\u2019s Starliner spacecraft:<\/p>\n

Known as NASA\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test, the duo will speak first at 1 p.m. EDT with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy, Associate Administrator Jim Free, and Johnson Space Center Director Vanessa Wyche.<\/p>\n

Coverage of the call will stream live on NASA+, NASA Television, and the agency\u2019s website. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms including social media.<\/p>\n

At 2:40 p.m., the astronauts will participate in a Q&A moderated by Chirag Parikh, deputy assistant to President Joe Biden and executive secretary for the White House\u2019s National Space Council.<\/p>\n

Coverage of the call will stream live on NASA+, NASA Television, and the agency\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Wilmore and Williams launched at 10:52 a.m. June 5, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida for NASA\u2019s Boeing Crew Flight Test mission.\u00a0They docked to the orbiting laboratory at 1:34 p.m., June 6, and will remain for a week-long stay, testing Starliner and its subsystems as the next step in the spacecraft\u2019s certification for rotational missions as part of the agency\u2019s Commercial Crew Program.<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program is delivering on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. This partnership is opening access to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station to more people, science, and commercial opportunities. The space station remains the springboard to NASA\u2019s next great leap in space exploration, including future missions to the Moon under Artemis, and ultimately, to Mars.<\/p>\n
