No they are not
“Estar” and “ser” are both to be but quite different
Ex. with estar
‘Yo voy a estar en el cine el lunes ‘
I am going to be in the movies this Monday
(The verb estar is used as in the place you are going to be be)
Ex. With ser
‘Yo voy a ser un doctor’
‘I am going to be a doctor’
(In this case it is used as a characteristic or description)
