Boeing is set to redo a space flight it tried but failed to pull off more than two years ago.

After months of delays, the company’s Starliner spacecraft is scheduled to be blasted into orbit at 6:54 p.m. Eastern time Thursday from Kennedy Space Center in Florida without crew members on board, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The vehicle is expected to fly to the International Space Station and dock there Friday, before it returns to Earth several days later.
