LIVE: Launch of Boeing CST-100 Crew Capsule on Unmanned Test Flight

Boeing are set to test their CST-100 crew capsule for the first time on a launch at 11:36am on Friday 20th December.

The launch will take place on an Atlas N22 rocket, the first of its type to fly. It is essentially an Atlas V 421 however with two Centaur engines on the upper stage rather than one.

Liftoff from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral will take place at 11:36 UTC and the Starliner CST-100 capsule will separate into orbit around 15 minutes after launch.
