OUR spaceship CST-100 Starliner gives Boeing landed in a rocket field white sands United States Army in New Mexico yesterday at 17:49 local time. Safe return to Earth successfully completed unmanned test flight. international space station (ISS), which was carried out to check the quality and performance of the transport system before the launch of manned flights.

Boeing Starliner mission lasted 7 days and yielded positive results

The completed flight tests began on May 19 with the launch of the launch vehicle. star liner from Rocket Atlas V from United Launch Alliance from Cape Canaveral Station in Florida. Among the features demonstrated by the Starliner spacecraft, Boeing highlighted:

• End-to-End Performance Rocket Atlas V and spaceship star liner from launch, ascent, orbital entry, re-entry and landing;
• Standalone software star liner and in-orbit operation of its avionics system, docking system, communications/telemetry systems, environmental monitoring systems, solar arrays, power supply systems and propulsion systems;
• The ability to save docking orientation controlreceive commands from ISS crew and the command advances and retreats during the last approach to the station;
• Charging the battery, opening and closing the hatch, establishing joint ventilation with the station, transferring files and transferring cargo.

Boeing conducted another test before the start of manned operations for NASA

when star liner complete your next flight, Boeing goal will be reached NASA have two commercial vehicles to transport astronauts to the station safely, securely and sustainably from American soil. The other vehicle is Crew Dragongives SpaceX.

“We had a great test flight of the complex system and learned a lot,” said Mark Nappi, Vice President and Program Manager. Boeing Starliner. “I want to thank my teammates at NASA and Boeing for their dedication to the Starliner program. After the completion of OFT-2, we will review the lessons learned and continue to work on preparations for a manned test flight and NASA certification,” Nappi added.

In addition to positive test results, Boeing can erase the trauma of previous failures. In 2019 manufacturer completed the OFT-1 flight, which did not reach ISS. A new test was scheduled in July 2021, but problems in the valves star liner prevented launch.
