Fate has not been particularly kind to Boeing's Starliner spacecraft!
Almost eight years ago, NASA struck multibillion-dollar contracts with Boeing and SpaceX to fly astronauts to the International Space Station on private U.S.-made spacecraft, as the agency sought to stop paying Russia to carry its astronauts to space—an expensive practice that began after NASA retired its space shuttles in 2011. Despite facing some testing issues, the SpaceX Crew Dragon flew its first crewed mission to the ISS in May 2020, and has traveled to the space station with crew several times since then.
However, Boeing’s competing Starliner program has faced technical hurdles: The capsule didn’t make it to the ISS during its 2019 test launch after its failure to enter the proper orbit, and a second test scheduled for last August was called off due to a valve issue. The problems have led to years of delays, extra costs and additional stress for Boeing, a legendary company whose reputation was undermined by a pair of fatal 737 MAX commercial airplane crashes in 2018 and 2019.
Fortunately, things have finally strong changes in 2022.
One day after launching May 19 from Florida’s Space Coast on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft docked to the International Space Station or ISS, signifying a historic moment for the program.
That moment was the first step toward next carrying astronauts to and from the space station, which will expand Starliner’s reach in low-Earth orbit and shape the future of commercial human spaceflight.
More awesome, this journey truly made epic, as it marked the first time a private American company not named SpaceX successfully reached the ISS!
What followed was ISS astronauts opening the hatch of the uncrewed Starliner and then floating inside, marking the first time the spacecraft hosted people in orbit.
If Boeing is able to successfully recreate the mission with human passengers on board, it will become the second US spacecraft certified to carry astronauts to the ISS. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is the only other American spacecraft vehicle to have done so (the US has occasionally sent astronauts to the ISS on Russia’s Soyuz rocket).
