Boeing was awarded up to six crewed flights to the International Space Station as part of its contract with NASA.

Mentioned as: BoeingOrg RelationshipNov 24, 2025RT by @GewoonLukas_: In 2014, @NASA awarded a Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contract to Boeing to fly astronauts to and from the @Space_Station with its Starliner spacecraft. As part of its contract, Boeing was awarded up to six crewed flights to the orbital complex. After a thorough evaluation, NASA and Boeing have mutually agreed to modify the contract. As part of the modification, the definitive order has been adjusted to four missions, with the remaining two available as options. The next Starliner flight, known as Starliner-1, will be used by NASA to deliver necessary cargo to the orbital laboratory and allow in-flight validation of the system upgrades implemented following the Crew Flight Test mission last year. NASA and Boeing are targeting no earlier than April 2026 to fly the uncrewed Starliner-1 pending completion of rigorous test, certification, and mission readiness activities.
