Boeing tests space taxi; one of three parachutes does not open
Reuters November 4, 2019
By Eric M. Johnson and Joey Roulette
SEATTLE/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Boeing Co said on Monday that one of three parachutes failed to open during a crucial unmanned test of the CST-100 Starliner, which the company is developing to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
The deployment failure happened during a test of a system designed to propel the crew to safety in the event of an emergency, Boeing spokesman Todd Blecher said by email.
"It's too early to determine why all three main parachutes did not deploy," Blecher said. "However, having two of three deploy successfully is acceptable for the test parameters and crew safety."
Boeing and U.S. space agency NASA said they were still targeting Dec. 17 for the Starliner's first unpiloted mission to the International Space Station.
NASA has picked Boeing and Elon Musk's SpaceX as the main contractors to build rocket-and-capsule launch systems to return Americans to the orbiting research lab for the first time since the U.S. space shuttle program ended in 2011.
Parachute deployment has been among the top technical challenges both companies have faced that have raised questions over crew safety and pressured launch schedules. The parachutes are designed to slow down the capsules when they return to Earth at supersonic speeds.

(from internet transcript)
Doctor Daniel Jackson
Is there a lunch or something that everybody...?
EXT—HOTEL ENTRANCE, DAY
[Rain pours down as Daniel, carrying two large suitcases, exits the hotel. He pulls his jacket's hood over his head to provide some protection and tries to cover his one suitcase with his coat. An uniformed man with an umbrella approaches from a car parked just outside the hotel.]
KAWALSKI
Doctor Jackson?
DANIEL
What? Yes?
KAWALSKI
Someone wants to speak with you.
INT—CAR
[Catherine flips through a file, which includes a diploma from UCLA, as the officer continues to talk to Daniel.]
DANIEL
The Air Force? What's this? What is this?
KAWALSKI
Could you step over to the car, please.
[Catherine glances over just as Daniel bends down and squints to look inside, while still several feet away.]
KAWALSKI
Sir?
DANIEL
Am I going somewhere?
[The car driver, also standing with an umbrella just outside the door, opens it for Daniel as he approaches.]
KAWALSKI
You're going to be fine. We'll take care of these.
[He takes Daniel's shoulder bag as Daniel cautiously drops his other suitcase and sits in the car. He warily looks at Catherine. She passes over a photograph of a smiling couple playing with a baby.]
CATHERINE
Jackson, are those your parents?
[Daniel glances from her to the photograph, his motion to lower his hood arrested for a moment.]
DANIEL
Foster parents.
[Catherine replaces the photograph and continues to look at the file.]
DANIEL
Wha-what is this all about?
