** Boeing successfully tests integrated propulsion system for the Starliner crew vehicle<\/strong>. This comes after the system suffered a leak of the highly toxic propellant during a test in 2018. Boeing Completes Starliner Hot Fire Test \u2013 Commercial Crew Program<\/a><\/p>\n Boeing\u2019s CST-100 Starliner propulsion system was put to the test on Thursday at NASA\u2019s White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico in support of NASA\u2019s Commercial Crew Program. Teams ran multiple tests on Starliner\u2019s in-space maneuvering system and the spacecraft\u2019s launch abort system, which are key elements on the path to restore America\u2019s capability to fly astronauts to the International Space Station on American rockets and spacecraft from U.S. soil.<\/em><\/p>\n The test used a flight-like Starliner service module with a full propulsion system comprising of fuel and helium tanks, reaction control system and orbital maneuvering and attitude control thrusters, launch abort engines and all necessary fuel lines and avionics.<\/em><\/p>\n Check out our brand new #Starliner<\/a> propulsion test footage. This successful test paves the way for our first uncrewed flight this summer and is an important next step for @Commercial_Crew<\/a> astronauts to fly later this year. pic.twitter.com\/FZxS0BwGlw<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Boeing Space (@BoeingSpace) May 28, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
