After retiring the space shuttle, SpaceX would give NASA the possibility of sending crew to the ISS from the United States again. The company is now moving into the <strong>CCiCap<\/strong>\u2019s third commercial crew phase which requires SpaceX to provide an integrated systems requirements review with details for how it plans to design, build and test the spacecraft\u2019s manned flight capabilities, as well as how the mission would be managed from ground operations through to landing.  <\/p>\n<p>With these developments, SpaceX also plans to offer taking passengers into low Earth orbit for private customers as well.
