It’s almost time! 🚀

On this week’s #HWHAP , flight directors discuss NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test and the operations behind this historic mission. go.nasa.gov/3vPdPdA

☀ High-efficiency solar cells built by our subsidiary Spectrolab_Inc. have powered space missions for decades, from the Moon to Mars, on International Space Station & #Starliner , and for more than 1,000 satellites, providing reliable power throughout the mission and beyond🛰. #SpaceSymposium

Why aluminum? #Starliner ’s seats are made of aluminum because the material is both lightweight and meets NASA Commercial Crew's structural safety requirements. #SpaceSymposium

As our teams continue working toward Starliner's Crew Flight Test, they always design with the astronauts in mind. #Starliner 's spacesuits are ~40% lighter than spacesuits previously worn by NASA Astronauts. That's equivalent to removing the weight of a bowling ball.

Our subsidiary #MillenniumSpaceSystems is disrupting the traditional missile warning & defense industry by designing and delivering high-performing, flexible systems across orbits. #SpaceSymposium

In a week that begins with a solar eclipse, space enthusiasts attending #SpaceSymposium in Colorado can learn more about our role in #Artemis missions.

The #Starliner spacecraft is fully autonomous, but NASA Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams can take manual control if needed — a balance made possible through the combined determination and innovation of both astronauts and engineers.

We're excited to partner with Intuitive Machines and NASA as a part of the Moon RACER team to provide advanced lunar surface mobility services to the #Artemis program.

For #TeamBoeing , the #Starliner Crew Flight Test is personal.

“I will do anything I can to make sure they’re taken care of,” says Deanna Dobson, a subsystems engineer who is one of the many teammates working closely with Starliner’s astronauts.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the members of the Texas Space Commission. Among this emerging group of leaders is our Vice President of Exploration Systems, John Shannon. The goal of the commission is to ensure Texas continues as a key aerospace innovator and producer.

With years of hands-on involvement in #Starliner ’s development and testing, NASA Astronauts are ready to fly, test and evaluate all aspects of the spacecraft.

See what Sunita Williams, Col. Mike Fincke and Butch Wilmore think about the Crew Flight Test and what makes Starliner 'a…

Accomplishing NASA's #Artemis mission objectives requires the evolved capabilities of the Exploration Upper Stage. It enables future deep space exploration missions – thanks to its boosted batteries, engines and more.
