NASA said Friday that the agency had given SpaceX a $946 million contract to fly three more astronaut missions to the International Space Station (ISS), extending the company's crewed flights to the station ‌through 2030.

The deal brings SpaceX's total number of NASA astronaut flights under the contract to 17 and raises the contract's total value to $5.92 billion. NASA is relying heavily on SpaceX to keep astronauts traveling to and from the station while it works to maintain a second US option through Boeing.
