US launched the first Starliner spacecraft into wrong orbit.
On December 20, 2019 at 11:36 UTC the Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft (Boe-OFT mission) was launched from SLC-41 of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. The launch was performed by United Launch Alliance supported by the 45th Space Wing of US Air Force. The space vehicle was orbited by the "Atlas-5” rocket-carrier. CST means Crew Space Transportation. Boe-OFT means Boeing Orbital Flight Test. It was the first orbital mission of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft, conducted by Boeing as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. This unpiloted demonstration mission was planned to be an 8-day test flight of the spacecraft, involving the docking to the International Space Station. But the spacecraft flew into the wrong orbit soon after lifting off and burnt too much fuel. The docking with the ISS became impossible.

Dragon CRS-19 spacecraft docked to space station.
On December 8, 2019 at 12:47 UTC, the private U.S. unmanned supply spacecraft, the "Dragon” SpX-19 (CRS-19 flight), was successfully docked to the International Space Station. The linkup operation was carried out with the help of the giant 17-meter Canadarm. The capture with Canadarm-2 was performed by Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano at 10:05 UTC. The Dragon spacecraft was maneuvered into position and attached to a berthing port on the space station's Harmony module. This docking marked the 19th time a Dragon spaceship has reached the space station, counting a demonstration flight in 2012. The Dragon spacecraft delivered 2617 kilograms of supplies, equipment and research investigations for the station’s crew.
