CST-100 Starliner är företaget Boeing:s rymdfarkost för transport av astronauter till och från Internationella rymdstationen (ISS), med hjälp av bärraketen Atlas V. Den första obemannade flygningen pågick mellan den 20 och 22 december 2019 och kallades Boeing Orbital Flight Test.
Den kan bära upp till sju personer men kan även flyga obemannad.
Första flygning
Under den första obemannade flygningen uppstod ett antal problem, vilket bland annat ledde till att farkosten inte hade bränsle nog att nå rymdstationen. Farkosten landade den 22 december 2019.
Andra testflygningen
Den 6 april 2020 meddelade Boeing att man kommer göra ytterligare en obemannad testflygning av farkosten, vilken skulle ha ägt rum den 30 juli 2021, men nu senarelagts på grund av tekniska problem. [1][2]

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – This is an artist's conception of the CST-100 under development by The Boeing Co. of Houston for NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP). In 2011, NASA selected Boeing during Commercial Crew Development Round 2 (CCDev2) activities to mature the design and development of a crew transportation system with the overall goal of accelerating a United States-led capability to the International Space Station. The goal of CCP is to drive down the cost of space travel as well as open up space to more people than ever before by balancing industry’s own innovative capabilities with NASA's 50 years of human spaceflight experience. Six other aerospace companies also are maturing launch vehicle and spacecraft designs under CCDev2, including Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), Blue Origin, Excalibur Almaz Inc., Sierra Nevada Corp., Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), and United Launch Alliance (ULA).
