TL;DR

NASA extends SpaceX’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contract with a roughly $950 million add‑on to fly three additional crewed Dragon missions to the International Space Station through 2030, bringing SpaceX’s total NASA payments to about $5.92 billion if all missions proceed. SpaceX will provide ground, launch, in‑orbit, recovery, and lifeboat support, as Boeing’s Starliner remains the other NASA partner. Crew 13 is expected to launch in October and Crew 14 next spring, while SpaceX winds down the Dragon program in favor of the Starship for future launches.
