A United Launch Alliance Atlas V N22 rocket, designated AV-080, will launch the first CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on an unpiloted Orbital Test Flight (OFT) to the International Space Station. The capsule will dock with the space station, then return to Earth to land in the Western United States after an orbital shakedown cruise ahead of Boe-CFT.
