CST-100 Starliner Prepared For Transport

On Nov. 12, 2018, inside the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians and engineers prepare the company’s CST-100 Starliner for transport to the company’s testing facilities in El Segundo, California.
The spacecraft is destined to fly astronauts to the International Space Station in Boeing’s Crew Flight Test (CFT) as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP). The Starliner will be undergoing a series of environmental tests designed to simulate what the spacecraft will experience during different stages of flight. The agency’s CCP will return human spaceflight launches to U.S. soil, providing safe, reliable and cost-effective access to low-Earth orbit on systems that meet our safety and mission requirements.
