Starliner arrives at launch pad in major pre-flight milestone
From nasaspaceflight.com:
"The first Starliner crew vehicle from Boeing has arrived at SLC-41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station for stacking operations with its Atlas V rocket. Starliner rolled out of the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) at the Kennedy Space Center earlier this morning for the multi-mile trip to the pad.
The event marks a significant milestone for Starliner ahead of its inaugural flight No Earlier Than (NET) 17 December 2019; however, much testing still remains for the vehicle and its launcher as well as a series of critical Flight Readiness Reviews with NASA before the vehicle will be cleared to launch to the International Space Station."
