Kapsul astronot Starliner baru Boeing diluncurkan dari Florida pada Rabu (5/6) dalam uji terbang pertama yang membawa awak yang sempat tertunda. Misi ini jadi sebuah tonggak sejarah dalam ambisi raksasa dirgantara itu untuk meningkatkan persaingannya dengan SpaceX milik Elon Musk. REUTERS/Joe Skipper

Tahap atas roket terpisah dari bagian bawahnya sekitar empat menit setelah penerbangan, diikuti dengan pemisahan Starliner dari tahap kedua. Kini dengan sendirinya, pesawat ruang angkasa tersebut menembakkan pendorongnya untuk mulai mendorong dirinya ke orbit, kata manajer misi, sebuah proses yang akan memulai perjalanan mengejar ketertinggalannya selama 24 jam dengan ISS, pos penelitian terdepan yang mengorbit sekitar 250 mil (400 km) di atas Bumi.

Misi tersebut merupakan uji terbang yang diperlukan sebelum NASA dapat mensertifikasi Starliner untuk misi astronot rutin. Saat ini di luar angkasa, kapsul tersebut perlu melakukan manuver yang tepat untuk berlabuh di ISS pada hari Kamis, menunjukkan bahwa ia dapat tetap berlabuh selama sekitar delapan hari, kemudian dengan aman mengembalikan kedua astronot tersebut ke Bumi, di antara tujuan penerbangan lainnya.

Boeing, yang operasional pesawat komersialnya diguncang oleh serangkaian krisis yang melibatkan pesawat jet 737 MAX, membutuhkan kemenangan di bidang luar angkasa untuk usaha Starliner-nya, yang sudah terlambat beberapa tahun dari jadwal dan melebihi anggaran lebih dari $1,5 miliar. Membawa Starliner ke titik ini merupakan proses yang sulit bagi Boeing berdasarkan kontrak harga tetap senilai $4,2 miliar dengan NASA, yang menginginkan redundansi dua perjalanan AS yang berbeda ke ISS. REUTERS/Joe Skipper
