CST-100

The embattled Boeing spacecraft Starliner is scheduled to launch next week, after more than a decade of delays and development. Given the history of the craft and the company's recent scandals, it's a nail-biter – so let's recap CST-100 Starliner.

Boeing has taken another step forward – following one or two recent steps back – in the development of its Starliner capsule, successfully completing a series of final parachute drop tests for the spacecraft’s landing system.

Boeing has released video footage from its Starliner spacecraft's first flight into space. Using feeds from a number of cameras, it showed what it was like inside the craft when the engine malfunction that forced an early return to Earth occurred.

After a dramatic two-day first mission, Boeing's CST-100 Starliner has returned to Earth. On December 22, 5:48 am MT, the unmanned capsule made a controlled landing at the White Sands Missile Range after a shortened mission due to a malfunction.

Boeing has found the cause of the parachute failure that occurred during the recent successful launch pad abort test of the CST-100 Starliner. The company said that the failure of one of the parachutes was due to a faulty connection.

Based on an Airstream Atlas Touring Coach, the Astrovan II Starliner Transport Vehicle has been specially modified to carry passengers and crew from the suiting up area to the launch pad for Boeing CST-100 Starliner missions.

Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft has completed its fifth, final, and most dangerous parachute test. It was released from a balloon and dropped safely to the desert floor at the White Sands Missile Range with three of its six parachutes deliberately rigged to malfunction.

Captain Picard’s ride seemed to have landed in Las Vegas today, as Boeing unveiled a mock-up of the new commercial interior of its Crew Space Transportation (CST-100).

Chris Ferguson, commander of the STS-135 Atlantis mission in 2011, went on a virtual flight to the International Space Station (ISS) in a ground-based simulator as part of NASA’s testing requirements for Boeing’s Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 spacecraft.

NASA and Boeing have unveiled a mock up of the Crew Space Transport (CST-100) space capsule in an event held at Boeing’s Houston Product Support Center in Texas. As part of the proceedings, two NASA astronauts conducted tests working in the capsule.
