SpaceX awarded $950 million by NASA to conduct three additional crewed flights
SpaceX has been granted an additional $950 million contract with NASA for three more crewed Dragon missions to the International Space Station (ISS). This extends its Commercial Crew Transportation Capability agreement, bringing total operational flights under this program to 17. If all planned flights are completed by 2030, SpaceX will have earned a cumulative $5.92 billion from NASA. The new contract includes ground and launch operations, in-orbit support, return and recovery services, cargo transportation, and lifeboat capabilities while docked at the ISS. The next scheduled crew mission with SpaceX is Crew 13 in October, followed by Crew 14 early next year. Boeing remains another key partner for NASA's human spaceflight program. SpaceX recently went public via a record-breaking IPO and relies heavily on government contracts to support its launch business.
