Did NASA award SpaceX $946 million for three more ISS crew missions?

Yes. On September 18, 2026, NASA modified its Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract to award SpaceX an additional $946 million for three more crewed missions to the International Space Station, covering performance through 2030.

The change brings SpaceX’s total CCtCap missions to 17 and the contract’s total value to about $5.92 billion. SpaceX has completed 11 operational Crew Dragon astronaut flights, was flying Crew-12 at the time of the announcement, and is preparing Crew-13 for early October; the new order extends through Crew-17.
