Boeing has launched the Starliner spacecraft with a capsule on board, designed to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. This is a test mission without the participation of the crew.

This was reported by CNN.

Two previous attempts to launch such a mission have failed. A third mission called Orbital Test Flight 2 launched yesterday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On board there are some supplies for astronauts already on the ISS, as well as a mannequin in a spacesuit named Rosie.
