NASA's Commercial Crew Program astronauts, wearing spacesuits and augmented reality headsets, rehearse returning to Earth from the International Space Station during recent testing at Boeing's Extended Reality Laboratory in Philadelphia. The astronauts are seated upside down so they can practice releasing their seat harness and moving to the side hatch of the Starliner without assistance. The astronauts wearing the mixed reality gear see a digital version of the interior of the Starliner as it would look in the real-life scenario while interacting with the environment around them.Photo credit: Boeing
Full comments by @BoeingCEO today on CST-100 Starliner, the @Commercial_Crew program, and more: "We see human space exploration as a very important marketplace for us for the future."
Has Boeing got any complete Starliner capsules assembled waiting for flight or have they even started building any complete MAN RATED FLIGHT Starliner capsules and service modules THAT CAN FLY?
Tune in to @CNBC at 7:40 AM ET to see @MorganLBrennan live from our #Starliner facility on @NASAKennedy and to hear the latest @Commercial_Crew progress from #BoeingSpace!
