The CST-100 development team and NASA engineers recently accomplished a hardware review and software testing for a spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to low-Earth orbit. Separate, in-depth evaluations of the launch vehicle adapter that will connect Boeing’s CST-100 to the top of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and the detection system that would signal an abort during an emergency were performed. The CST-100, short for Crew Space Transportation, is one of several spacecraft under development by aerospace industry partners working with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program to establish crew transportation to low-Earth orbit from U.S. soil.

low orbit ? so do we have to design special aircraft’s depending on orbit ?
I have seen this kind of space craft in mass effect video games
We hope to be done successfully, it really represents a breakthrough in aerospace history and a great responsibility for the Boeing people.
