Boeing was awarded a $650 M contract by NASA to support the completion of the International Space Station (ISS). Boeing will provide engineering and software support as well as subsystems needed to complete the station. The contract is for two years. This contract will complete the station by 2010. Not addressed is the coming gap when NASA will be dependent on Russian assets for launch as the Space Shuttle retires.
