Cape Canaveral, Florida: US space agency NASA has dumped Boeing Co from a multibillion-dollar competition to fly cargo to the International Space Station, company officials said on Thursday.
Boeing was offering an unmanned version of its Starliner CST-100 space taxi, a passenger spaceship under development as part of a separate NASA programme.
"We received a letter from NASA and are out of CRS-2," Boeing spokeswoman Kelly Kaplan wrote in an email, referring to NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract.
