My understanding is once the capsules splash down that’s it for the capsule as a passenger ferry. Does Boeing get to reuse theirs? I lost track of the final resolution on the stand test but if I recall I don’t think that was intended to be low risk..they shook it until something broke if I recall. But even so wouldn’t you count that as an iteration?
- rst 7y agoBoeing does get to reuse theirs. SpaceX is ultimately planning to reuse them as well, but is planning a new capsule each flight for the initial contract while negotiating recertification requirements with NASA. (That's what they did for cargo dragon as well -- they're reusing those now, but it took a while.)
