Here we provide you with exciting news and background information on upcoming space events and space happenings. Today we report on the landing of the Boeing Starliner-1 on Sunday, March 31st, 2024. You can read all the details about the Boeing Starliner 1 mission in this article.
Space events are usually processes that do not belong to the usual rocket launches. “Space events” not only report on engine tests or space walks, but also on landings of spacecraft, flybys and other maneuvers that take place outside the earth and are controlled by various space programs.
Overview of the Starliner-1 mission
After the deorbit burn, the Boeing CST-100 Starliner will re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere and use its parachutes to land at the White Sands Missile Range missile base.

What is the goal of the Starliner-1 mission?
Starliner-1 is the first flight of a Starliner-spaceship crewed to the International Space Station under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
Where does the Starliner-1 mission take place?
The mission takes place in the low earth orbit. This is located at an altitude of 200 to 2,000 kilometers. LEO rides are the lowest energy and easiest to get to. Spacecraft need about 100 minutes to orbit the earth and can move at about 7 km/s. The radio contact to a ground station is a maximum of 15 minutes per round trip. Low Earth orbit is primarily used for manned spaceflight, but also for spy satellites, astronomical satellites, as well as Earth exploration and weather satellites, amateur radio satellites, global communications systems, and research and technology testing satellites.
Space programs and organizations involved in Boeing Starliner-1
COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM: The Commercial Crew Program (CCP) is a manned space program operated by NASA in cooperation with the American space companies Boeing and SpaceX. The program operates rotations between International Space Station program expeditions, transporting crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Boeing Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon capsules, in the first manned orbital spaceflights operated by private companies.
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION: The International Space Station program is linked by a complex set of legal, political and financial agreements between the sixteen nations involved in the project, which establish ownership of the various components, rights to crew and use, and responsibilities for regulate the rotation of the crew and the supply of the International Space Station. The project was created in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan as part of the Space Station Freedom project, as it was originally called.
These space organizations are involved:
- Boeing
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration
- SpaceX
- Canadian Space Agency
- European Space Agency
- Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
- Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS)
