LIVE Test of the Boeing Starliner Abort System

This test will prove the spacecraft’s abort system can safely lift Boeing Astronaut Chris Ferguson and the NASA Commercial Crew astronauts away from a rocket in case of emergency. Starliner’s four Launch Abort Engines and several Orbital Maneuvering and Attitude Control thrusters will fire and push the spacecraft approximately 1 mile (4,500 feet/1.6 km) above land and 1 mile (7,000 feet/1.6 km) north of the test stand at Launch Complex 32 on White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
