The next launch opportunity is on Wednesday, the agency said.

A handout photo made available by NASA shows a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aboard after being rolled out of the Vertical Integration Facility to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 41, ahead of the NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, on May 30, 2024.

NASA said it would provide an update on Sunday on the rescheduled launch date. The next available launch opportunities are June 5 and June 6, according to NASA. The spacecraft can carry seven people, but this test drive will only have two NASA astronauts: Barry Wilmore, 61, and Sunita Williams, 58.
