Building the Future of Spaceflight

Space and Launch teams are hard at work, testing and evaluating complex systems to gather more data leading up to Starliner’s second Orbital Flight Test.

With experience gained from supporting every major U.S. endeavor to space, our teams are focused on a safe and successful upcoming launch, and proud to be part of all of NASA’s human space exploration efforts.

It’s Rocket Science

Starliner crews are designing, building, testing and flying the CST-100 Starliner under a contract with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program for the safe, reliable and sustainable transportation of astronauts to and from the International Space Station.

Teammates who are blazing a new trail of innovation and discovery give insight into what it’s like to shape the future of spaceflight in the series of videos below:
