Indian-born NASA's commercial crew astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams and her colleagues have successfully tested a new generation of training shammer  that will prepare them for launch, flight and returns aboard Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft.

The CST-100 Starliner crew capsule is designed by Boeing in collaboration with Bigelow Aerospace as their entry for NASA's Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) programme.

Its primary mission is to transport crew to the International Space Station (ISS) and to private space stations such as the proposed Bigelow Aerospace Commercial Space Station.

"These simulators have touchscreen displays, which means they are more all-around than previous spacecraft trainers," Williams said in a statement.
