Posted: Sat, Sep 3, 2022, 6:13 AM ET (1013 GMT)
NASA announced Wednesday it completed an extension of its commercial crew contract with SpaceX worth more than $1.4 billion. The extension adds five Crew Dragon missions to the ISS to the contract, bringing the total to 14. The extension has a value of $1.44 billion, or $288 million per mission, and brings the total value of the Commercial Crew Transportation Capabilities contract with SpaceX to more than $4.9 billion. NASA announced three months ago its intent to extend the contract so that it had in place all the missions it needed from SpaceX and Boeing for ISS operations to 2030.
