Commercial Crew

2. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program
is working with American companies
to build new rockets and spacecraft
to launch astronauts into space for
missions to the International Space
Station. The spaceships launch from
Florida and take astronauts about
250 miles above the surface of Earth
to perform experiments. Those
experiments make our lives better
here on the ground and prepare other
astronauts for longer missions to
places like the Moon and Mars. Learn
more about some of the missions and
astronauts Commercial Crew plans to
launch and return in 2024.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 launched NASA astronaut
Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency)
astronaut Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and
Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov on Aug. 26,
2023, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy
Space Center in Florida. The international crew of four
flew aboard the SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft to
the International Space Station for a science expedition
before a planned return to Earth in the spring of 2024.

3. For more than a decade, NASA’s groundbreaking
Commercial Crew Program (CCP) has led the way toward
a new era in human spaceflight, impacting the agency and
industry in tremendous ways. Together with commercial
partners Boeing and SpaceX, CCP is delivering on its
goal to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective human
space transportation to and from the International Space
Station in low-Earth orbit, enabling NASA to maximize
station utilization, and highlighting the benefits of NASA’s
commercial model with industry.

BUILDING A NEW AMERICAN CAPABILITY
NASA’s Commercial Crew Program redefined space system
development for low-Earth orbit by forming strong public-
private partnerships with the aerospace industry encouraging
innovation while maintaining NASA’s high safety standards and
leveraging NASA’s 50 plus years of spaceflight experience.
PARALLEL PATH FOR EXPLORATION
NASA’s work to turn over low-Earth orbit astronaut
transportation to commercial companies, like Boeing and
SpaceX, allows the agency to use other resources to
develop the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System
rocket for missions into deep space. Both destinations—the
International Space Station and deep space—are vital in
the nation’s space exploration efforts, and one cannot be
successful without the other.

chapter in human spaceflight by launching the first flight
of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft with astronauts to
the International Space Station. CFT will demonstrate the
ability of the Atlas V rocket and Starliner to safely carry
astronauts to and from the space station as part of the
agency’s Commercial Crew Program.
