CST-100 Starliner Design and Testing (2012-2015)
In 2012, Boeing completed the design and testing of the CST-100 Starliner's ground system, including the launch pad and the recovery system. The company also completed the testing of the spacecraft's systems, including its propulsion, life support, and communication systems.
The CST-100 Starliner features a crew compartment, a service module, and a launch abort system. The crew compartment is designed to carry four crew members, while the service module provides power, propulsion, and communication systems for the spacecraft. The launch abort system is designed to quickly evacuate the crew in case of an emergency.
