Rosie the Rocketeer

Boeing's anthropomorphic test device occupied the Starliner commander's seat during Orbital Flight Test-1. Rosie was outfitted with 15 sensors to collect data on what astronauts will experience during flights on Starliner.

Boeing's Starliner program is being developed in collaboration with NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The Starliner was designed to accommodate seven passengers, or a mix of crew and cargo, for missions to low-Earth orbit. For NASA service missions to the International Space Station, it will carry up to four NASA-sponsored crew members and time-critical scientific research. The Starliner has an innovative, weldless structure and is reusable up to 10 times with a six-month turnaround time. It also features wireless Internet and tablet technology for crew interfaces.
