Boeing Demonstrates Pilot Control of CST-100

Posted on February 28, 2014 by commercial-crew-program. Boeings Chris Ferguson, who commanded the space shuttles last mission, took to the controls inside a CST-100 simulator in January to show NASA engineers that the software will allow a human to take control of the spacecraft at any point in a mission following the CST-100s separation from its booster. Called a pilot-in-the-loop demonstration, the accomplishment was performed in Houston to mark a milestone for the company under its Commercial Crew integrated Capability contract with NASAs Commercial Crew Program.
