Boeing astronaut Chris Ferguson, left, and NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Nicole Mann, along with teams from NASA, Boeing and the White Sands Missile Range, rehearse landing and crew extraction from Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner, which will be used to carry humans to the International Space Station, on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2019 at the White Sands Missile Range outside Las Cruces, New Mexico. Using a convoy of vehicles Boeing uses to recover their spacecraft after landing and a boiler plate test article of the Starliner capsule, the teams worked through the steps necessary to safe the vehicle and get future crew members out of the Starliner to return home. Fincke, Mann and Ferguson will fly to the space station aboard the Starliner for the Boeing Crew Flight Test mission.
