is a human spaceflight program created in association with <a href="https://spaceexplored.com/guides/spaceX/">SpaceX</a> and <a href="https://spaceexplored.com/guides/Boeing/">Boeing</a>. It was created in 2011 to allow other companies to send NASA astronauts to the <a href="https://spaceexplored.com/guides/international-space-station/">International Space Station (ISS)</a> via their own spacecraft, such as <a href="https://spaceexplored.com/guides/crew-dragon/">SpaceX’s Crew Dragon</a>. The program succeeds NASA’s involvement with Russia’s Soyuz program, which the agency previously used to carry astronauts to the ISS.</p> <p>SpaceX successfully performed the first operational mission as part of the program on November 15, 2020. Called Crew-1, the mission launched four astronauts to the ISS aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. Boeing has also been attempting to create its own crewed spacecraft called <a href="https://spaceexplored.com/guides/starliner/">Starliner</a>; however, various software issues have delayed this project from moving forward as quickly as originally anticipated. Boeing is scheduled to launch another test flight of the spacecraft in March 2021.</p> </div><!-- .post-body --> </div> </div> <aside class="sidebar container xs"> <div class="featured-items"> <h2
