The American Boeing company is about to run another demonstration mission of its new astronaut capsule.
The CST-100 Starliner is set to launch from Florida to showcase how it can ferry crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS).
It will be the second test flight, and conducted with no people aboard.
The previous demonstration, in 2019, encountered software problems that very nearly resulted in the loss of the capsule.
The Starliner will ride to orbit on an Atlas-5 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Sun with its constant ability to churn energy and particles has always been a centre of intrigue across the world as countries try to replicate its process on Earth. While it has several hidden secrets about its functioning, one of the biggest mysteries is of the solar corona, the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere, which is hotter than the actual surface of the Sun.
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) was launched from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on a brief suborbital flight via sounding rocket.

TRINITY SITE, N.M. Once, in another lifetime, I witnessed an atomic explosion. This was in the 1960s at the Nevada Test Site, a vast area about an hour northwest of Las Vegas where the American military tested bombs. I was working for EG&G, a military contracting company that, among other atomic chores, supplied all the instrumentation for the test site; it is now part of a company called Amentum. My job, to study the effects of nuclear explosions on the atmosphere, was sufficient to keep me out of the Vietnam War draft.
