[i]For launch, either through tower clear or spacecraft separation (a point still being decided), the companies are in charge of their own vehicles. Through docking with the space station, it is company specific: [list][*]SpaceX will staff its own mission control for Dragon at its facilities in Hawthorne, California; [*]Boeing has contracted with NASA's Flight Operations Directorate to have the space agency's flight controllers run a dedicated flight control room for Starliner inside the Mission Control Center at Johnson Space Center in Houston.[/list] While aboard the space station, the astronauts (even corporate astronauts) answer to NASA and international partners' mission controls. At undocking and through re-entry, control is returned to the companies (SpaceX through Hawthorne and Boeing through Houston).[/i]
