CST-100 Starliner Orbital Flight Test

ULA's Atlas V N22, flying for the first time with no payload fairing and a dual-engine Centaur, launched Boeing's uncrewed CST-100 Starliner Orbital Flight Test; a mission-timer error burned the capsule into the wrong orbit, forcing an early landing at White Sands without reaching the ISS.
