Boeing Starliner Calypso, also known as Spacecraft 3, is one of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner space capsules built for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. It launched on 20 December 2019 on the uncrewed Boeing Orbital Flight Test to the International Space Station, but software errors left its mission elapsed timer 11 hours off, so it made an off-nominal orbital insertion burn, could not rendezvous with the station and landed at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, on 22 December after two days in space. Astronaut Sunita Williams named it Calypso after the oceanographic vessel of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the only Starliner spacecraft to receive an official name. It flew a second time in June 2024 on the Crew Flight Test with two astronauts, and returned to Earth uncrewed after thruster malfunctions led NASA to bring the crew home on SpaceX Crew-9.
