NASA and Boeing have finally revealed the next possible date for an uncrewed test launch of the company’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station: the first half of 2022.

At that time, NASA said the test would happen after the launch of the Lucy asteroid space probe, which is set to go into space on Saturday, Oct.

NASA and Boeing will be analyzing potential flight opportunities for next year alongside United Launch Alliance, the manufacturer behind the Atlas V rocket that will launch the Starliner, and the Eastern Range, the Space Force entity in charge of East Coast launches.

“Potential launch windows for OFT-2 continue to be assessed by NASA, Boeing, United Launch Alliance, and the Eastern Range,” NASA officials wrote in a blog update.

The Starliner, part of a NASA program that seeks to transport astronauts to the ISS, has only completed one other uncrewed test flight in what seems like ages ago.
