One seat remains open on the first operational Starliner mission, Starliner-1, after NASA announced Sept. “As we extend space station - get partner across-the-board agreement to extend past ’24 - we will also extend the agreement.” “Once a Boeing gets up and running our plan is to continue this cooperation on the Boeing missions,” he said. Joel Montalbano, NASA ISS program manager, said the agency plans to extend that agreement to cover Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner, which, once certified for crewed flights, will alternate ISS missions with Crew Dragon.

That seat barter agreement, completed in July, allowed NASA astronaut Frank Rubio to fly to the International Space Station last month on a Soyuz spacecraft.
