December to be busy with launches
December is set to be a launch-packed month starting with SpaceX blasting a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to the International Space Station no earlier than Wednesday.
Following that launch, Boeing is scheduled to send its Starliner capsule to the ISS atop United Launch Alliance's Atlas V rocket from Launch Complex 41 to the ISS at 7:47 a.m. Dec. 17. It will be the uncrewed orbital flight test as the company gets ready to send astronauts to space once again from U.S. soil as part of NASA's Commercial Crew program.
And SpaceX could have the in-flight abort test of its Crew Dragon capsule before the month is out.
