NASA Details Its Plan for the End of the International Space Station in 2031 - by b0yle
that’s meant eventually to become the springboard for a stand-alone space station.
Some of the space station’s modules could be split off to become part of other orbital outposts during the transition. The report lays out a plan for shifting operations to those new outposts and gradually lowering the orbit of the old station’s remaining modules during the latter half of the 2020s, building up to a climax in 2030.
A crew would be aboard the station for the initial months of the deorbit operation, but the latter stages would be executed remotely after the last crew’s departure, toward the end of 2030. “By the early 2030s, NASA plans to purchase crew time for at least two – and possibly more – NASA crew members per year aboard [commercial LEO destinations] to continue basic microgravity research, applied biomedical research, and ongoing exploration technology development and human research,” the report said.
