(ANSA-AFP) - WASHINGTON, MAY 19 - The American aerospace giant Boeing has launched the Starliner capsule, the space tax that should alternate with the Dragon shuttle of the Space X to contribute to the alternation of astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS).

The new test flight (OFT-2) took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 18:54 local time, 00:54 in Italy.

There is no crew on board: on the captain's seat sits a test dummy, nicknamed "Rosie the Riveter", the cultural icon of the United States created during the Second World War.
