ANSWER: NASA
 
US space agency NASA has ordered a second mission from space transport services company SpaceX to take astronauts to the International Space Station/ISS.
  • Commercial crew flights from Florida’s Space Coast to the International Space Station will restore American human spaceflight launch capacity and increase the time US crews can dedicate to scientific research while helping astronauts to prepare for deep space missions including the journey to Mars.
  • Under the Commercial Crew Transportation Capability, this is the fourth and final guaranteed order NASA will be making.
  • SpaceX met the criteria for this latest award after completing interim developmental milestones and internal design reviews for its Crew Dragon spacecraft, Falcon 9 rocket and associated ground systems.
