As Starliner began its approach to the station, five reaction control system thrusters failed off during flight. Mission teams performed a series of hot-fire tests which re-enabled four of the thrusters while the crew manually piloted the spacecraft at the station's 200-meter hold point. After re-selecting four of the thrusters, Starliner had the fault tolerance required to approach the space station for docking. At the 10-meter hold point, the mission team completed system readiness evaluations and proceeded with docking.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/boeing_starliner_cft_docking01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/boeing_starliner_cft_docking01.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center>
