Starliner (official name: Crew Space Transportation-100) is a manned spacecraft with a maximum capacity of 7 passengers under development by Boeing , the world's largest aerospace equipment manufacturer. The starliner was created in the course of NASA's CCDev , a private-sector initiative designed to transport crew to the ISS on a spacecraft.

The unmanned test conducted on December 20, 2019 had the goal of 'docking to the ISS after launch.'

The star liner launched by the Atlas V rocket was separated from the rocket tip and successfully launched successfully. However, shortly afterwards, the goal of docking with the ISS was abandoned, claiming 'excessive fuel consumption was exceeded'.

Jim Chilton, senior vice president of Boeing's Space and Launch Division, said the cause of the excessive fuel consumption was `` Because I set the aircraft time incorrectly, Starliner advanced the flight behavior more advanced than it actually is. I did it '.

After correcting the “11-hour gap” in the aircraft time, canceling the planned docking to the ISS, and changing the plan, the test went smoothly. The Starliner flew smoothly in orbit, confirming that the onboard life support system kept the aircraft in good condition.

On December 22, 2019, the Starliner returned to the White Sands Missile Testing Center in New Mexico, USA. NASA was delivering real-time video of the moment the Starliner landed.

According to the six airbags attached to the bottom, there was no damage due to the impact when falling.

'We were not able to dock at the ISS, but the Starliner flight itself was fine. Many of our test goals were successful,' said NASA Secretary Jim Breidenstein about the test flight. He stated that the test itself was 'successful.'

The star liner used in this test will undergo a manned flight test after renovation. NASA's Astronaut Sni Williams, who will board a manned flight test, named the starliner Calypso after the explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau 's research vessel Calypso .
