Quote from: whitelancer64 on 06/01/2022 08:38 pmThe February award stipulates the contract runs through March 31, 2028. The starting date of the February contract was in 2023 (if needed). But if you look at the current schedule, SpaceX-6 would be in 2023. Overall, I get an extra mission for SpaceX in 2023 (or in 2029 if Boeing-1 is ready in 2023) but other than that, it's one per year for SpaceX. 2023 SpaceX-6 and 72024 SpaceX-8 and Boeing-12025 SpaceX-9 and Boeing-22026 SpaceX-10 and Boeing-32027 SpaceX-11 and Boeing-42028 SpaceX-12 and Boeing-52029- SpaceX-13 and Boeing-62030- SpaceX-14 and one other mission to be awarded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Crew_Program

Not sure where these NET dates came from, so I'd take them with a grain of salt.
