Boeing Aerospace Trading Cards First Edition were released in June 2015
by The Boeing Company. The collection is distributed in four different foil

The "Cutting Edge" series features an early concept illustration of the Boeing Crew Space Transportation (CST-100), renamed Starliner on September 4, 2015.

The first uncrewed Orbital Flight Test of Starliner Spacecraft 3
Calypso was conducted December 20–22, 2019. The unnamed Starliner
Spacecraft 2 successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on
May 21, 2022.
The first Boeing Crewed Flight Test (Boe-CFT) began on June 5, 2024. NASA
astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams launched atop a
United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from SLC-41 at Cape Canaveral Space
Force Station. Calypso successfully docked with the ISS on June 6,
2024.
Helium leaks and issues with the Reaction Control System engines are being evaluated by NASA and Boeing engineers. Calypso returned to Earth without any passengers on September 7, 2024. Wilmore and Williams are scheduled to return on the SpaceX Crew Dragon 2 Endeavour in February 2025.
"The CST-100 accommodates up to seven passengers or a mix of crew and cargo
and will transport astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) and
other low-Earth-orbit destinations. Featuring an innovative weld-less design
and Boeing LED 'Sky Lighting,' the capsule's first manned mission is planned
for 2017."
