Boeing and NASA teams take part in a general rehearsal of the mission to prepare for the landing of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft at White Sands, New Mexico
Boeing’s Starliner capsule returned to Earth on Wednesday in the final step of a key test flight to prove that it is worthy of providing trips to NASA astronauts on the International Space Station.
NASA wants to certify Starliner as the second “taxi” service for its astronauts on the space station, a role that Elon Musk’s SpaceX has provided since it was successful in a test mission for its Dragon capsule on 2020.
