SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Boeing announced on Thursday that the company will participate in the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) - The CyberSpace Edition, which is taking place on Oct. 12-14, with an innovative virtual exhibit online.

Developed to simulate an actual booth at the show, the exhibit will showcase the CST-100 Starliner Commercial Crew spacecraft; the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting laboratory; the Space Launch System (SLS) deep-space rocket; the X-37B spaceplane; and commercial and government satellites, Boeing said.

"As a member of the International Astronautical Federation, Boeing applauds the IAC organizers for bringing together the space industry in a virtual environment," said David Rogalski, director of Space and Launch Global Sales and Marketing.

According to Boeing, the company's Starliner is preparing for its second uncrewed Orbital Flight Test. The ISS, for which Boeing is a prime contractor building all of the major U.S. elements, will mark its 20th year of human habitation, science and technology research on Nov. 2.
