Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne Test CST-100 Thrusters
Boeing's CST-100 spacecraft is one step closer to liftoff after a gauntlet of test firings of its steering jets at White Sands Space Harbor in Las Cruces, N.M. The tests assessed how the thrusters -- which fire with 1,500 pounds of force -- will speed up, slow down and move the spacecraft while carrying NASA astronauts in Earth’s orbit. Boeing is developing a fully integrated crew transportation system in partnership with NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP).
