상업 승무원 프로그램(CCP)은 NASA와 계약에 따라 국제 우주 정거장(ISS)을 오가는 상업적으로 운영되는 승무원 운송 서비스를 제공하며, 국제 우주 정거장 프로그램의 탐사 간에 승무원 교대를 수행합니다.미국의 우주 제조업체 스페이스X는 크루 드래곤 우주선을 사용하여 2020년에 서비스를 제공하기 시작했고, NASA는 보잉 스타라이너 우주선이 2024년 안에 가동되면 보잉을 추가할 계획입니다.[1]NASA는 보잉사로부터 6개의 작전 임무와 스페이스X로부터 14개의 작전 임무를 계약하여 2030년까지 ISS를 위한 충분한 지원을 확보하고 있습니다.[2]
우주선은 공급업체가 소유하고 운영하며, NASA에 승무원 운송을 상업 서비스로 제공합니다.각각의 임무는 최대 4명의 우주비행사들을 국제우주정거장으로 보냅니다.작전 비행은 대략 6개월 동안 지속되는 임무에 대해 대략 6개월에 한 번 발생합니다.우주선은 임무를 수행하는 동안 ISS에 도킹된 상태로 유지되며, 임무는 보통 최소 며칠 정도 겹칩니다.2011년 우주왕복선의 퇴역과 2020년 첫 CCP 임무 사이에 NASA는 소유즈 프로그램에 의존하여 우주비행사들을 ISS로 이송했습니다.
크루 드래곤 우주선이 Falcon 9 Block 5 발사체에 실려 우주로 발사되고 캡슐은 플로리다 근처의 바다에서 스플래시다운을 통해 지구로 돌아옵니다.2020년 11월 16일, 스페이스X 크루-1이 발사되었습니다.보잉 스타라이너 우주선은 아틀라스 VN22 발사체 위에서 발사된 마지막 시험 비행을 마치고 참가할 예정입니다.스플래시 다운 대신, 스타라이너 캡슐이 미국 서부의 지정된 네 곳 중 한 곳에서 에어백을 들고 육지로 돌아올 예정입니다.
상용 승무원 프로그램의 개발은 NASA가 승무원 차량의 내부 개발에서 ISS 승무원 순환을 수행하는 것으로 전환하면서 2011년에 시작되었습니다.그 후 2년 동안 일련의 공개 경쟁에서 보잉, 블루 오리진, 시에라 네바다, 스페이스X는 ISS 승무원 운송 차량에 대한 제안서를 개발하기 위해 성공적으로 입찰했습니다.2014년 NASA는 보잉과 스페이스X에 각각의 시스템을 개발하고 ISS에 우주 비행사를 보내는 별도의 고정 가격 계약을 체결했습니다.각 계약은 시스템에 대한 인간 평가를 달성하기 위해 패드 중단, 무인 궤도 테스트, 발사 중단 및 승무 궤도 테스트의 네 가지 성공적인 시연이 필요했습니다.운영 임무는 당초 2017년에 시작될 예정이었으며, 두 제공자 간에 임무가 교대로 진행되었습니다.2020년 크루 드래곤 임무가 시작될 때까지 NASA는 소유스 MS-17까지 소유스 우주선의 추가 좌석을 구매해야 했습니다.크루 드래곤은 스타라이너가 빠르면 2024년까지 모든 임무를 수행합니다.[1]
배경
2004년 우주왕복선 컬럼비아호 참사 이후 조지 W. 부시 대통령에 의해 설립된 앨드리지 위원회는 최종 보고서에서 승무원 탐사 차량으로 달로 가는 승무원 비행을 요구했습니다.[3][4]2005년 NASA 승인법 이후, Constellation 프로그램이 수립되었는데,[5] 이 프로그램은 달 탐사 목표 외에 국제 우주 정거장(ISS)까지 승무원 순환 비행을 수행하는 오리온이라는 이름의 수정된 승무원 탐사 차량을 구상했습니다.[5][6][7]오리온은 ISS 승무원의 회전을 위해 특별히 설계된 궤도 우주 비행기를 대체했습니다.[8][9][10]2009년, 버락 오바마 대통령에 의해 임명된 어거스틴 위원회는 프로그램의 자금과 자원이 일정에 대한 상당한 지연과 30억 달러의 자금 증가 없이 목표를 실행하기에 불충분하다는 것을 알게 되었고,[11] 이는 NASA가 프로그램에 대한 대안을 고려하기 시작하도록 하였습니다.[12]콘스텔레이션 프로그램은 2010년에 공식적으로 취소되었는데,[13][14] NASA가 오리온을 지구 너머의 탐사를 위해 용도를 변경하고 2011년 우주왕복선 프로그램의 퇴역 이후 ISS 승무원의 회전과 지구 저궤도에서의 다른 승무원 활동을 위해 상업적 파트너들과 협력하면서입니다.[13][15][16]이 협정은 우주 비행사들을 ISS에 인도하기 위한 로스코스모스의 소유스 프로그램에 대한 나사의 의존도를 추가적으로 종식시킬 것입니다.[17][18]
발전
CCDev 시상식

2010년의 NASA 승인법은 기존의 상용 승무원 개발(CCDev) 프로그램을 3년에 걸쳐 확장하기 위해 미화 13억 달러를 할당했습니다.[13]2010년 이 프로그램의 첫 번째 대회는 미국 회수 및 재투자법의 일환으로 민간 부문에서 다양한 인간 우주 비행 기술 개발에 자금을 지원하는 것에 초점을 맞춘 반면,[19][20] 두 번째 대회인 CCDev 2는 우주 비행사들이 ISS로 왕복할 수 있는 우주선에 대한 제안에 초점을 맞췄습니다.[21][22]2011년 4월에 CCDev 2 기금을 위한 경쟁이 [22]마무리되었는데, 블루 오리진은 바이코닉 노즈콘 캡슐 컨셉을 개발하는데 미화 2,200만 달러를 받았고,[23] 스페이스X는 드래곤 우주선의 승무원 버전과 인간 등급 Falcon 9 발사체를 개발하는데 미화 7,500만 달러를 받았고,[24] 시에라 네바다 회사는 개발에 미화 8,000만 달러를 받았습니다.e Dream Chaser와 [25]보잉은 CST-100 Starliner 개발을 위해 미화 9,230만 달러를 받았습니다.[25]스페이스X는 이전에 나사의 상업적 재공급 서비스의 일환으로 드래곤 우주선과 함께 ISS 재공급 비행을 운영하기로 나사와 계약했습니다.[26][27]이 프로그램의 세 번째 라운드인 상용 승무원 통합 역량(CCiCap)은 [28]5년 이내에 ISS에 승무원 임무를 수행할 것에 대비하여 2014년 5월까지 21개월 동안 수상 제안서 개발을 재정적으로 지원하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.[28][29][30]블루 오리진은 CCdev 1과 CCdev 2에서 수상했음에도 불구하고 CCiCap 경쟁에 반대하기로 결정했고 대신 주인인 제프 베이조스의 민간 투자에 의존하여 승무원이 탑승한 우주 비행에 대한 개발을 계속하기로 결정했습니다.[31][32]CCiCap 자금 지원 경쟁은 2012년 8월에 종료되었으며, 시에라 네바다의 드림 체이서에 2억 1,250만 달러, 스페이스X의 크루 드래곤에 4억 4,000만 달러, 보잉의 스타라이너에 4억 6,000만 달러가 배정되었습니다.[30][33][34]앨리언트 테크시스템즈의 통합 리버티 발사체와 우주선이 최종 후보에 올랐지만, 앨리언트 테크시스템즈의 제안서에 세부 사항이 없다는 우려 때문에 거절당했습니다.[35]
2012년 12월, 세 명의 CCiCap 수상자는 승무원 우주 비행에 대한 NASA의 안전 요구 사항을 충족시키기 위한 추가 테스트, 엔지니어링 표준 및 설계 분석을 가능하게 하기 위해 두 개의 "인증 제품 계약"(CPC) 중 첫 번째로 $1,000만 달러의 자금을 추가로 받았습니다.[17][36][37]두 번째 CPC 시리즈는 CCDev 프로그램의 마지막 단계인 상용 승무원 운송 능력(CCCap)으로 나타났습니다. 여기서 NASA는 공개 경쟁을 통해 ISS로 승무원 비행을 운영할 수 있는 운영자를 인증했습니다.[36][37]제안서 제출 창구는 2014년 1월 22일에 닫혔습니다.[36]시에라 네바다는 드림 체이서 우주선의 민간 자금 지원 궤도 시험 비행이 2016년 11월 1일에 이루어질 예정이라고 발표했습니다.[38][39]2014년 9월 16일, CCtCap은 스페이스X의 크루 드래곤과 보잉의 스타라이너가 유일한 승자가 되었고, 스페이스X는 26억 달러, 보잉은 42억 달러의 계약을 체결했습니다.[40][41]시에라 네바다주는 이에 대해 "출처 선정 과정에서의 심각한 질문과 불일치"를 이유로 정부 회계 책임청(GAO)에 항의서를 제출했습니다.[42][43]미국 연방청구법원은 상용 승무원 프로그램이 지연될 경우 ISS의 승무원 운영 우려를 이유로 [44][45]크루 드래곤과 스타라이너의 개발이 시위 기간 동안 진행될 수 있도록 허용하는 결정을 확정했습니다.[45][46]GAO는 2015년 1월 시에라 네바다의 항의를 거절하면서 GAO에 의해 수집된 증거가 NASA에 대한 시에라 네바다의 주장을 신뢰할 수 없다고 말했습니다. 시에라 네바다는 이 결정을 받아들였습니다.[47][48]그 회사는 CCtCap 결과에 따라 드림 체이서 작업을 하던 직원 90명을 해고했고, 그 우주선을 상업용 우주 비행을 위한 고용용 차량으로 용도를 변경했습니다.[49][50][51]드림 체이서의 화물 변형은 나중에 NASA에 의해 개발되고 선택되어 상용 재공급 서비스 2 계약에 따라 무인 재공급 임무를 ISS로 보낼 것입니다.[52][53]
선택후

2016년 5월, 보잉은 스타라이너의 아틀라스 VN22 발사체와 관련된 문제로 인해 첫 승무원 비행이 2018년으로 연기될 것이라고 발표했습니다.[54][55][56]2016년 12월, 스페이스X는 크루 드래곤의 발사체인 팰컨 9의 발사대 폭발로 AMOS-6가 손실됨에 따라,[57][58] 그들의 첫 승무원 비행 또한 2018년으로 연기될 것이라고 발표했습니다.[58][59]GAO는 2018년 이후 미국 우주비행사를 위한 소유즈 프로그램에서 더 이상의 비행이 없는 상황에서 우려를 표명하고 2017년 2월 NASA에 추가 지연 시 승무원 교대 계획을 수립할 것을 권고했습니다.[60][61]러시아 우주 제조업체 에네르기아를 상대로 한 해상 발사 관련 소송이 타결됨에 따라 보잉은 나사가 보잉사로부터 구매한 소유즈 항공편에 최대 5인승 옵션을 받았습니다.[62][63]NASA는 2018년 8월 크루 드래곤과 스타라이너 차량을 조종하기로 선택된 우주 비행사들을 발표했고,[64][65][66] 두 달 후 2019년 날짜로 크루 드래곤과 스타라이너의 시범 임무를 시작했습니다.[67][68]2019년 3월 2일 발사된 스페이스X 데모-1은 크루 드래곤이 성공적으로 ISS에 도킹하여 발사 6일 만에 지구로 귀환하는 임무를 수행했습니다.[69][70][71]그러나 이 임무에 사용된 캡슐은 2019년 4월 슈퍼드라코 엔진의 정적 연소 테스트에서 실수로 파괴되어 [72][73][74]향후 크루 드래곤 비행의 발사가 더 지연되었습니다.[74][75]스타라이너의 중단 시스템 테스트 실패로 인해 연기되었던 보잉 궤도 비행 테스트와 보잉 승무원 비행 테스트는 2019년 초중반부터 2019년 말까지 설명 없이 더 추진되었습니다.[76][77][78][79][80]
보잉사는 2019년 11월 보잉 패드 중단 테스트를 실시했습니다.[81][82]NASA는 시스템이 두 개의 낙하산 아래에 설계된 대로 착륙했기 때문에 세 개의 낙하산 중 하나가 배치되지 못했음에도 불구하고 시험을 성공적으로 받아들였습니다.[83][84]보잉사는 2019년 12월 궤도 비행 테스트를 실시했고, 스타라이너 소프트웨어의 주요 오작동에 직면하여 ISS와의 도킹을 방해하고 임무를 중단했습니다.[85][86][87]궤도 비행 시험은 NASA에 의해 독립적인 검토 후 "가시성이 높은 근접 시험"으로 선언되었으며,[i][89][92] 2021년 7월 보잉이 CCDev의 추가 자금 지원 대신 비행 비용을 부담하는 두 번째 궤도 비행 시험(Boeing OFT-2)이 예정되어 있었습니다.[93][94][95]상용 승무원 프로그램의 진행에 대한 불확실성이 더욱 커지고 있는 가운데, NASA는 프로그램에서의 작전 임무가 더 지연될 경우에 대비하여 소유즈 MS-17 임무에 대한 좌석을 구입하여 익스페디션 64에 참가할 수 있도록 하였으며,[96][97] MS-17을 넘어 소유즈 좌석을 추가로 구입하는 것이 가능하다고 설명하고 있습니다.[96][97]2020년 1월, 스페이스X 비행 중단 테스트가 성공적으로 진행되어 2020년 5월, 우주 비행사 밥 벤켄과 더그 헐리를 ISS로 발사한 크루 드래곤 – 스페이스X 데모-2의 최종 승무원 시험 비행을 위한 발판을 마련했습니다.[98][99][100][100]스페이스X는 2020년 11월 16일 스페이스X 크루-1을 발사했습니다.2021년 5월 2일까지 ISS에 도킹했습니다.스페이스X 크루-2는 2021년 4월 23일에 발사되었으며, 스페이스X 크루-3 발사 이틀 전인 2021년 11월 9일에 착륙했습니다.2021년 8월 3일, 보잉 OFT-2가 발사 준비를 하고 있을 때, 캡슐의 추진 시스템에서 13개의 밸브에 문제가 발생했습니다.발사는 스크러빙되었고, 캡슐은 결국 공장으로 돌아왔습니다.문제에 대한 분석은 2021년 9월에 여전히 진행 중이었고 발사는 무기한 연기되었습니다.이 무인 시험인 보잉 궤도 비행 시험 2는 2022년 5월 19일에 발사되어 5월 25일에 성공적으로 착륙했습니다.[101][102]

2022년 2월 28일, NASA는 스페이스X에 3개의 추가 승무원 임무를 수여하여 스페이스X의 총 승무원 임무를 9개로 늘리고 총 계약 금액을 3,490,872,904 달러로 책정했다고 발표했습니다.[103]2022년 9월, NASA는 또 다른 추가적인 5개의 임무를 발표했는데, 이번에는 총 14개의 임무와 총 계약 금액이 49억 3천만 달러가 되었습니다.[2]
우주선
상업 승무원 프로그램은 스페이스X 승무원 드래곤을 이용해 우주 비행사들을 국제우주정거장으로 왕복시킵니다.[40][41][104]보잉 CST-100 스타라이너는 인간 등급을 받은 후 이 역할에 참여할 예정입니다.두 우주선 모두 자동화되어 있지만 비상시 지상에서 원격으로 조종하거나 터치스크린을 통해 승무원이 수동으로 조종할 수 있습니다.[105][106]두 우주선의 승무원 객실은 11 입방 미터 (390 입방 피트)의 압력을 가하며 [106][107][108]각각 최대 7명의 승무원을 태울 수 있도록 구성되어 있지만, 나사는 이 프로그램의 각 임무에 최대 4명의 승무원만 보낼 수 있습니다. 5번째 좌석을 차지할 수 있는 연장은 나사가 이용할 수 있습니다.[104][109]두 우주선 모두 ISS에 도킹된 우주 공간에서 210일까지 지속될 수 있습니다.[110][111][112]게다가, 이 우주선은 우주왕복선의 90분의 1 확률보다 덜 위험한, 치명적인 실패의 가능성이라는 NASA의 안전 기준을 충족하도록 설계되었습니다.[113]
우주선과 ISS에는 국제 도킹 시스템 표준(IDSS)을 구현하는 도킹 메커니즘이 있습니다.[114]NASA 도킹 시스템 구현은 Starliner와 ISS가 사용하고 크루 드래곤은 SpaceX가 개발한 호환 IDSS 구현을 사용 IDSS 구현을 사용합니다.[115][114]IDSS 부두는 1세대 Dragon과 같은 이전의 상용 궤도 운송 서비스 우주선이 사용했던 공통 접안 메커니즘 대신 사용됩니다.[116]

크루 드래곤
스페이스X의 크루 드래곤은 회사의 Dragon 2 클래스 우주선의 변형으로, 1세대 Dragon의 업그레이드된 버전입니다.[117][118]그것은 폭이 3.7 미터 (12 피트), 몸통이 없는 높이가 4.4 미터 (14 피트), 그리고 몸통이 있는 높이가 7.2 미터 (24 피트)입니다.[108][119]트렁크는 캡슐 재진입 전에 폐기되지만 승무원 객실은 재사용이 가능하도록 설계되었습니다.[120][120][121]SpaceX가 NASA를[122] 위해 모든 승무원 비행에 새로운 캡슐을 사용하기로 한 이전의 계획 이후에 둘 다 NASA 비행에 크루 드래곤 캡슐을 재사용하기로 동의했습니다.[123][124]2022년, 스페이스 엑스는 캡슐을 15번까지 재사용할 수 있다고 말했습니다.[125]크루 드래곤 우주선은 국제우주정거장에 도킹되지 않고 일주일까지 자유 비행을 할 수 있습니다.[126]각 크루 드래곤 캡슐에는 스페이스X의 슈퍼 드라코 엔진 8개로 구성된 발사 탈출 시스템이 장착되어 있으며, 이 시스템은 각각 71,000 뉴톤(16,000 파운드 힘)의 힘을 제공합니다.[127][128][129]이 엔진들은 원래 지구로 돌아올 때 추진 착륙을 수행하기 위한 것이었고, 첫 번째 시험 차량은 그러한 능력을 갖추기 위해 장착되었지만,[130][131] 이 계획들은 대서양이나 멕시코 만에 있는 플로리다 근처의 전통적인 스플래시다운 귀환을 위해 결국 포기되었습니다.[132][133]스페이스X의 CCtCap 계약에 따르면 크루 드래곤 비행기의 각 좌석은 처음 6번의 임무에서 미화 6천만 달러에서 6천7백만 달러 사이인 반면, NASA의 [134]OIG(Office of Inspector General)는 각 좌석의 액면가를 미화 5천5백만 달러로 추정했습니다.[135][136][137]첫 번째 계약 연장(미션 7, 8, 9)의 허가 비용은 2억 5,870만 달러(좌석당 6,460만 달러)이며, 두 번째 계약 연장(미션 10~14)의 허가 비용은 2억 8,800만 달러(좌석당 7,200만 달러)입니다.[2]
스타라이너
보잉사의 CST-100 스타라이너 – "승무원 우주 수송"의 약자인 "CST" – 직경이 4.6 미터(15 피트), 높이가 5.1 미터(17 피트)입니다.[106][107][138]스타라이너의 승무원 모듈은 최대 10회까지 재사용이 가능하며, 서비스 모듈은 각 비행 중에 사용됩니다.[115][139]스타라이너는 궤도기동, 자세제어, 반응제어, 발사탈출 등을 위해 에어로젯 로켓다인이 제작한 다양한 엔진을 활용하고 있습니다.[140]우주선 승무원 모듈에 있는 8개의 반응 제어 엔진과 우주선 서비스 모듈에 있는 28개의 반응 제어 엔진은 각각 380뉴턴(85파운드 힘)과 445뉴턴(100파운드 힘)을 제공합니다.[141][142]또한 서비스 모듈에 장착된 20개의 맞춤형 궤도 조작 및 자세 제어(OMAC) 엔진은 각각 6,700 뉴톤(1,500 파운드 힘)의 추력을 제공하며,[140][141][142] 4개의 RS-88 엔진은 발사 중단 시나리오에서 각각 178,000 뉴톤(40,000 파운드 힘)의 추력을 제공합니다.[129][140][143]발사 중단 없이 명목상 비행을 하는 동안 스타라이너는 RS-88 엔진에 저장된 미사용 연료를 사용하여 발사 중에 센타우르 상단에서 분리된 후 궤도 삽입 연소를 수행할 수 있습니다.[141]일단 우주에 있으면, 스타라이너 우주선은 자유 비행으로 60시간까지 생존할 수 있습니다.[112]크루 드래곤과 달리 스타라이너는 에어백을 이용해 차량이 지면에 충격을 완화하는 방식으로 바다가 아닌 육지에서 지구로 돌아올 수 있도록 설계됐습니다.[144][145]유타주 더그웨이 프로빙 그라운드, 캘리포니아주 에드워즈 공군기지, 뉴멕시코주 화이트샌즈 미사일 사거리, 애리조나주 윌콕스 플레이아 등 미국 서부 인접 4곳은 스타라이너 우주선이 귀환할 수 있는 착륙장 역할을 하지만,[145] 비상시에는 스플래시다운 귀환도 가능합니다.[146]보잉사의 CCtCap 계약은 CST-100 항공편의 각 좌석의 가격을 미화 9,900만 달러로 책정하고 있으며,[134] NASA의 OIG는 각 좌석의 액면가를 미화 9,000만 달러로 추정하고 있습니다.[135][136][137]
미션스
국제우주정거장으로의 나사 임무는 평균 6개월마다 시작됩니다.원래 계약의 일환으로 보잉과 스페이스X는 각각 최대 6회의 운항 항공편을 계약했습니다.[147][148]NASA는 나중에 스타라이너가 추가로 지연될 경우의 대비책으로 스페이스X와 8회 추가 비행을 계약하고 2030년까지 ISS에 서비스를 보장했습니다.[2]
크루 드래곤 미션
이 프로그램의 첫 번째 작전 비행인 스페이스X의 크루-1 임무는 2020년 11월, 빅터 글로버, 마이크 홉킨스, 소이치 노구치, 섀넌 워커를 레질리언스에 탑승시켜 ISS로 운반했습니다.[149][150][151][152][153]복원력은 원래 Crew-2에 사용될 계획이었으나 테스트 중에 C204가 실수로 파괴되어 일정이 변경된 후 재할당되었습니다.[152]NASA 우주비행사들이 크루 드래곤이나 스타라이너 비행에 대한 임무를 부여받았지만, JAXA 우주비행사인 노구치는 첫 번째 작전 임무를 수행할 우주선에 대한 임무를 부여받을 수 있었습니다.[154]소유즈 MS-16 기간 동안 크리스 캐시디가 ISS에 도착함에 따라, 레질리언스호에 탑승한 우주비행사들의 도착은 ISS의 미국 궤도 부문이 4명의 승무원으로 완전히 구성된 우주왕복선 프로그램 이후 처음 있는 일입니다.[148][155]2021년 4월에 발사된 크루-2는 팰컨 9 1단 부스터와 처음으로 개조된 크루 드래곤을 사용하여 발사되었습니다.[153][156][157]이 임무는 엔데버호에 셰인 킴브로, 메간 맥아더, 아키히코 호시데, 토마스 페스케를 실어 날랐습니다.[158]2021년 11월에 발사된 크루-3는 토마스 마시번, 라자 차리, 마티아스 마우러, 카일라 배런을 ISS로 운반했으며,[159][160][161] 크루-4는 2022년 4월에 젤 린드그렌, 밥 하인스, 사만다 크리스토포레티, 제시카 왓킨스를 발사했습니다.[162][163][164][165]미국 우주비행사 조쉬 카사다, 니콜 아우나푸 만, JAXA 우주비행사 코이치 와카타는 스타라이너 프로그램이 지연된 후 승무원-5 임무에 다시 배정되었습니다.[166][167]Crew-5의 네 번째 우주 비행사는 러시아 우주 비행사 Anna Kikina에 의해 채워지고, 따라서 소유즈-드래곤 우주 비행사 교환 시스템의 일부가 됩니다. 즉, NASA 우주 비행사와 로스코스모스 우주 비행사가 각각의 승무원 순환 임무를 수행하도록 하는 것입니다.이를 통해 소유즈 또는 상업용 승무원 차량이 장시간 지상에 있을 경우 양국 모두 정거장에 존재하고 별도의 시스템을 유지할 수 있게 됩니다.[168]
2021년 12월 3일, NASA는 우주 정거장에 대한 미국의 중단 없는 접근 능력을 유지하기 위해 스페이스X로부터 최대 3회의 비행을 추가로 확보할 것임을 분명히 했습니다.[169]그 배경은 스페이스X가 보잉사의 첫 번째 작전 비행 이전인 2023년 초에 여섯 번째 비행을 시작할 가능성이 있었고,[170] NASA는 스페이스X만이 필요한 능력을 가지고 있다고 결론지었기 때문입니다.
나사와 로스코스모스는 각각 3편의 항공편에 대한 연간 좌석 교환 협정에 합의했습니다.2022년, 2023년, 2024년에는 러시아 우주비행사가 1년에 한 번 크루 드래곤 비행을 하고 미국 우주비행사는 1년에 한 번 소유즈 비행을 하게 됩니다.이 협정은 ISS가 한 가지 또는 다른 종류의 우주선이 지상에 있더라도 필수적인 서비스를 운영할 수 있는 최소한 한 명의 승무원을 확보하도록 보장합니다.[171]
2022년 8월 31일, NASA는 스페이스X에 계약된 크루 드래곤의 총 비행 횟수를 14회로 늘린 5회 추가 비행을 수여했습니다.추가 항공편은 2030년까지 운행될 예정입니다.[172]
보잉 스타라이너 미션
2023년[update] 8월 현재 첫 운항 비행은 2024년 말 이전에 이루어질 계획입니다.그것은 승무원 비행 시험의 성공적인 완료에 달려 있습니다.
NASA는 스타라이너가 충분한 항공편을 확보한 후 로스코스모스와의 좌석 교환 협정을 스타라이너 항공편까지 확대하기를 바라고 있습니다.[173]

Aerojet Rocketdyne, an aerospace propulsion contractor based in Sacramento, California, also announced this week it secured an expected contract from Boeing to provide thrusters, fuel tanks and abort engines for the CST-100 Starliner commercial crew capsule. [...] Each shipset includes four 40,000-pound thrust launch abort engines for the CST-100's pusher escape system and 24 orbital maneuvering and attitude control thrusters, each generating 1,500 pounds of thrust for low-altitude abort attitude control and in-space orbit adjustments.

The Crew Module is equipped with 12 Reaction Control System (RCS) thrusters that can produce 100 lbf of thrust each. [...] The Service Module contains 28 RCS thrusters that produce 85 lbf thrust each and 20 Orbital Maneuvering and Attitude Control (OMAC) engines. The OMACs produce 1,500 lbf thrust each. [...] This suborbital trajectory was requested by Boeing so that under normal conditions, Starliner can then burn most of its unused launch abort fuel (via the Orbit Insertion Burn) to lighten its mass before it boosts its orbit to phase up to the Station.
