 NASA’s Commercial Crew Program has delivered on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. By allowing more people, scientists, and businesses access to low Earth orbit and the International Space Station, this partnership is altering the course of human spaceflight history. The next major leap in NASA's space exploration, including future missions to the Moon and, eventually, Mars, will continue to be launched from the space station.
