HOUSTON - JSC2013e068259 - NASA astronaut Serena Aunon prepares for a fit check evaluation of The Boeing Company's CST-100 spacecraft at the company's Houston Product Support Center. Assisting her is Andrea Gilkey, a human factors engineer with The Boeing Company. Aunon's fit check will help evaluate a crew's maneuverability in the spacecraft and test communications. Boeing's CST-100 is being designed to transport crew members or a mix of crew and cargo to low-Earth-orbit destinations. The evaluation is part of the ongoing work supporting Boeing's funded Space Act Agreement with NASA's Commercial Crew Program, or CCP, during the agency's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability, or CCiCap, initiative. CCiCap is intended to make commercial human spaceflight services available for government and commercial customers. To learn more about CCP, visit http://www.nasa.gov/commercialcrew.
