NASA Orders Second Boeing Crew Mission to International Space Station
Engineers from NASAâs Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and Boeing dropped a full-scale test article of the companyâs CST-100 Starliner into Langleyâs 20-foot-deep Hydro Impact Basin. Although the spacecraft is designed to land on land, Boeing is testing the Starlinerâs systems in water to ensure astronaut safety in the unlikely event of an emergency during launch or ascent. Testing allows engineers to understand the performance of the spacecraft when it hits the water, how it will right itself and how to handle rescue and recovery operations. The test is part of the qualification phase of testing and evaluation for the Starliner system to ensure it is ready to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
