It has come to the end of the road for the International Space Station (ISS), which has been humanity’s home in space for almost 24 years. Already starting to work on alternatives NASA, leaving the ISS behind published a report detailing its plans. The institution, which is working very seriously to eliminate this huge structure in space, made a statement on how to destroy the station in less than ten years.

NASA’s plan to cancel the ISS
The station’s assembly was heavily aged to move most of the modular sections into space. space to the shuttle Confidence started in the late 90’s. The primary structure was completed in 2010, but the station has continued to expand over the years with the help of space agencies around the world.
NASA and its partners plan to spend the 2020s doing important research on the ISS, exploring the effects of long-term spaceflight, climate change, and the potential impact of future commercial activities in orbit. one of the ISS space danger It will be allowed to “fall” into the atmosphere to ensure that it does not become entangled, although it will take some time to reach the atmosphere.
According to the NASA report, on the ISS 2030 He will begin to prepare for his own doom. That’s when NASA will disrupt the orbit of the station by firing its own engines and the vehicles attached to it. A year later, in January 2031, the station will pass the point of no return where drift accelerates its descent into the atmosphere.
The ISS is so large that it cannot be completely disintegrated during reentry into the atmosphere. For this reason, NASA sent the controllers’ ISS to a deserted area in the South Pacific Ocean (SPOUA) planned a long, slow descent.
NASA does not intend to completely exit the space station project after leaving the ISS. The agency is a small station and communications hub to support crewed expeditions to the Moon and beyond. Lunar Gateway started preliminary work on it. But the construction of the Gateway Artemis Program The Space Launch System (SLS) mega-rocket is still not ready either. NASA this year First uncrewed test flight of the SLS hopes to achieve.
