Design of Dragon 2 ship - produced by private company SpaceX

Currently, the US is paying $ 71 million for each use of the Russian-made Soyuz spacecraft to bring its astronauts to the ISS international space station.

But the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia because of Ukraine's problem caused the United States to think of a "localization" of spacecraft in the current rift relationship. Currently, the Soyuz vessel is still the main means to travel to the ISS station.

Boeing will receive $ 4.2 billion for the design of the CTS-100 , while the billionaires of billionaire Elon Musk will receive $ 2.6 billion to produce Dragon 2. The delivery time will be 2017, and each ship will perform 6 shipping tasks to the ISS station.

This is also part of NASA's big project to bring people to Mars and commercialize the space tourism service in the future.
