Mar 7, 2025 · NASA’s Space Launch System is the only rocket capable of carrying crew and large cargo to deep space in a single launch. Powered by the Boeing-built Core Stage, SLS successfully launched as part of the Artemis I Mission on November 16, 2022.

Boeing's Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 Starliner spacecraft is being developed in collaboration with NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The Starliner was designed to accommodate seven passengers, or a mix of crew and cargo, for missions to low-Earth orbit.

Mar 27, 2024 · NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are poised to make history as the first people to fly on a Boeing-owned and operated spacecraft when they launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on a flight test.

We’re enabling critical research on the International Space Station (ISS) that benefits the future space economy, deep-space exploration and life on Earth; returning crew launch capabilities to U.S. soil with the CST-100 Starliner commercial spacecraft; ensuring successful delivery to Earth’s orbit with the United Launch Alliance (ULA ...

Mar 28, 2024 · All three of the astronauts who have been training for the Crew Flight Test (CFT) have enjoyed highly successful careers, but their lives outside the space agency are just as enriching. Here’s more about CFT commander Butch Wilmore, pilot Suni Williams and backup test pilot Mike Fincke.

Mar 30, 2023 · The Boeing-built core stage powers each SLS launch. After lift-off and rocket separation, the SLS upper stage propels the Orion capsule out of Earth’s orbit. For missions to the moon – Artemis I, II and III – the SLS rocket will fly in what’s called the Block 1 configuration featuring the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) as the ...

Jul 7, 2022 · For a majority of the time Starliner was in free-flight on orbit, Chloe Mehring – “Lion Flight” – was in charge. Her team checked off flight-test milestones to demonstrate the spacecraft’s systems and assisted with the planning for future dynamic operations including rendezvous and docking.
