Curtiss-Wright's Defense Solutions division, a leading supplier of rugged flight test instrumentation solutions engineered to succeed, today congratulated NASA and Boeing on the successful Boeing Orbital Flight Test-2 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Curtiss-Wright is proud to support this historic flight as a supplier of rugged data acquisition equipment used on board Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Program. Curtiss-Wright supplies Boeing with the CST-100's RAIU (Remote Analog Interface Unit) based on the Company's Acra KAM-500 data handling avionics equipment. The RAIU is used to gather data on the status and health of critical spacecraft systems during all phases of the mission.

The flight, NASA’s second uncrewed flight for Starliner, was launched to the ISS on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The OFT-2 mission demonstrates the end-to-end capabilities of the Starliner spacecraft and Atlas V rocket from launch to docking to a return to Earth in the desert of the western United States.
