ABOUT COMMERCIAL CREW PROGRAM
NASA’s Commercial Crew Program partners with private companies to develop and operate crewed spacecraft for ISS transport, ending US dependence on Russian Soyuz. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon became operational in 2020, followed by Boeing’s Starliner. The program represents a fundamental shift from government-owned vehicles to commercially operated crew transport.
