Abort Test

CST-100 Starliner Pad Abort Test

NASA and Boeing will broadcast live coverage of the CST-100 Starliner Pad Abort Test on Monday, Nov. 4, from Launch Complex 32 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The test is designed to verify that each of Starliner’s systems will function not only separately, but in concert, to protect astronauts by carrying them safely away from the launch pad in the unlikely event of an emergency prior to liftoff. During the test, Starliner’s four launch abort engines and several orbital maneuvering and attitude control thrusters will fire, pushing the spacecraft approximately 1 mile above land and 1 mile north of the test stand.

On their way to the Moon, the Apollo 12 crew conducted an orbital maneuver that let them land in the Moon's Western Hemisphere, so they could recover portions of a lander that had been on the moon for two years." - NASA
