CST-100 Starliner Pad Abort Test Animation

In Spring 2019, Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner will conduct a Pad Abort Test at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. It will be a full-up test firing of Starliner’s four launch abort engines, which are designed to get the crew safely away from a potential catastrophic failure of a rocket.

When did CST-100 Starliner switch from the escape tower tech. ie Mercury and Apollo to the internal rocket LES ie SpaceX?

Why does it deploy, then cut so many drogue chutes???

[R-Dax]

Maybe decoupling that stage before these parachutes more time so the capsule doesn’t hit it if there winds or maybe some waves if you were in the water

Out of all the people who work there, not one person could be found to add a few seconds of audio? Even a basic narration would have been nice. Not like the video description was ladened with information. :/
