Boeing Starliner Capsule: A 21st Century Space Capsule
For the Crew Flight Test Mission to the International Space Station
Boeing's CST-100 Starliner Spacecraft Under Development
Boeing is developing the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, a 21st-century space capsule designed for the Crew Flight Test mission to the International Space Station. The Starliner is a reusable spacecraft capable of carrying up to seven crew members and cargo to and from low-Earth orbit.
The Starliner is equipped with advanced avionics, communications, and life support systems, making it one of the most sophisticated spacecraft ever built. It is also designed to be modular, allowing for future upgrades and modifications.
Boeing has already conducted several successful test flights of the Starliner, and the company is planning to launch the first crewed mission to the International Space Station in 2024.
The Starliner is a key part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, which aims to develop commercial spacecraft capable of transporting astronauts to and from the International Space Station. The program is designed to reduce NASA's reliance on Russian spacecraft and to foster the development of a commercial space industry.
