April 3 (UPI) -- NASA and Boeing delayed the latest planned launch of the Starliner Boeing Crew Flight Test after a review of International Space Station operations.
They announced on Tuesday that the launch that had been set for May 1 would now aim to lift off no sooner than May 6.
"The date adjustment optimizes space station schedule of activities planned toward the end of April, including a cargo spacecraft undocking and a crew spacecraft port relocation required for Starliner docking," NASA said in a statement. "NASA and Boeing also are performing prelaunch closeout work and completing final certification for flight."
