ag 5 for help getting to orbit and ag 1 for a fully automated abort and landing. oh and it also features a random failure program just to spice things up a notch ;)

Boeing Starliner (officially CST-100 Starliner) is a class of reusable crew capsules expected to transport crew to the International Space Station (ISS) and to private space stations such as the proposed Bigelow Aerospace Commercial Space Station. It is manufactured by Boeing for its participation in NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

The capsule has a diameter of 4.56 m (15.0 ft), which is slightly larger than the Apollo command module and smaller than the Orion capsule. The Boeing Starliner holds a crew of up to seven people and is being designed to be able to remain in-orbit for up to seven months with reusability of up to ten missions. It is designed to be compatible with four launch vehicles: Atlas V, Delta IV, Falcon 9, and Vulcan Centaur.

In the first phase of its CCP, NASA awarded Boeing US$18 million in 2010 for preliminary development of the spacecraft. In the second phase Boeing was awarded a US$93 million contract in 2011 for further spacecraft development. On 3 August 2012, NASA announced the award of US$460 million to Boeing to continue work on the Starliner under the Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) program. On 16 September 2014, NASA selected the Boeing Starliner, along with SpaceX Crew Dragon, for the Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) program, with an award of US$4.2 billion.

The Boeing Starliner Orbital Flight Test (uncrewed test flight) launched with the Atlas V N22, on 20 December 2019 from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral, Florida. During the test, the Starliner experienced a timing anomaly that precluded a docking with the International Space Station. Two days after launch, on 22 December 2019 at 12:58 UTC, with the successful landing at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, the Boeing Starliner Calypso became the first-ever crew-capable space capsule to make a land-based touchdown in the United States.
