Boeing's proposed CST-100 commercial manned spacecraft. Data from the next and previous flight test will be used as part of NASA’s process of certifying Boeing’s crew transportation system for carrying astronauts to and from the space station. Boeing's safe, reliable Commercial Crew Transportation System draws on practices, expertise and resources from across the Boeing enterprise and five decades of experience in human spaceflight.

These contracts encompass the firm-fixed-price design, development, test, and evaluation work needed to support NASA’s certification of the contractors’ spacecraft, launch vehicle, and ground support systems and The data will be used by NASA in the process of certifying Boeing's crew transportation system for carrying astronauts to and from the space station. Like SpaceX, Boeing has also grappled with issues with its parachutes. The Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) is the second phase of the CPC and included the final development, testing and verifications to allow crewed demonstration flights to the ISS. Boeing: $9.9 million; CCtCap - crew flights awarded.

A fuel leak delayed ground qualification of the engines used in the escape system by about one year.
