Kronologi
Föregående uppdrag
Boe-OFT 2

Boeing Crewed Flight Test (Boe-CFT) var den första bemannade testet av Boeings rymdfarkost CST-100 Starliner i omloppsbana runt jorden.

Farkosten sköts upp med en Atlas V-raket, från Cape Canaveral Air Force Station LC 41, den 5 juni 2024.

Farkosten dockade med den Internationella rymdstationen (ISS), den 6 juni 2024.

Efter att det uppståt problem med farkostens styrraketer, beslöt man att låta farosten landa obemannad.

Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 6 september 2024 och landade några timmar senare på White Sands Space Harbor.

Problem

Under dockningsfasen uppstod problem med flera av farkostens manöverraketer. NASA meddelade snabbt att man skulle förlänga farkostens vistelse vid rymdstationen, för att ge Boeing tid att utreda problemen.

Efter flera månades arbete, meddelade NASA att problemen sannolikt beror på att en packning deformeras av den värme som uppstår när manöverraketerna används.

Problemen har lett till att farkostens säkerhet ifrågasätt.[2] Den 24 augusti 2024 meddelade NASA att farkosten kommer landa obemannad och att Barry Wilmore och Sunita Williams kommer landa med SpaceX Crew-9

In this illustration, a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft approaches the International Space Station for docking. NASA is partnering with Boeing and SpaceX to build a new generation of human-rated spacecraft capable of taking astronauts to the station and expanding research opportunities in orbit. SpaceX's upcoming Demo-1 flight test is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contract with the goal of returning human spaceflight launch capabilities to the United States.

Backdropped by a blue and white Earth, this close-up view features the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft approaching the International Space Station (ISS). Onboard the spacecraft are cosmonaut Sergei K. Krikalev, Expedition 11 commander representing Russia's Federal Space Agency; astronaut John L. Phillips, NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer; and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Roberto Vittori of Italy. The Soyuz linked to the Pirs Docking Compartment at 9:20 p.m. (CDT) on April 16, 2005 as the two spacecraft flew over eastern Asia. The docking followed Friday’s launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test is the first launch with astronauts of the Boeing CFT-100 spacecraft and United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The flight test, targeted for launch at 10:34 p.m. EDT on Monday, May 6, serves as an end-to-end demonstration of Boeing’s crew transportation system and will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to and from the orbiting laboratory.

This was known as the Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver and was implemented after the Columbia Disaster in 2003. The Leonardo Multipurpose Logistics Module can be seen in the shuttle's cargo bay. Discovery docked at the station's Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 at 9:52 a.m. CDT, July 6, 2006.)
