NASA’s Commercial Crew Program 2023 | International Space Station

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program worked with SpaceX to launch crews to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX Dragon spacecraft in 2023. Work continues on critical development elements for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft as it prepares for a flight test with astronauts aboard. The work of 2023 will provide a reliable basis in 2024 for crew rotation missions and for spacecraft development.

The Commercial Crew Program (CCP) is a project in which NASA is working with business partners to build rockets and spacecraft. The Commercial Crew Program has made it possible for astronauts to launch to space from the United States again.
