NASA will hold a news conference from Johnson Space Center on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 1:00 pm ET to discuss its plans for the last phase of the Starliner Crew Flight Test (CFT) and whether Boeing’s Starliner capsule will return to Earth empty or carrying the two NASA astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, it delivered to the International Space Station in June back to Earth as planned.

The news conference will air on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA appYouTube, and the agency’s website.
