NASA reveals new plan to deorbit International Space Station

NASA and most of its international partners intend to operate the ISS until 2030, by which time its basic structure will become too fatigued to continue to host astronauts safely

NASA just recycled 98% of all astronaut pee and sweat on the ISS (engineers are thrilled)

Yes, the achievement hinges on better recycling tech for astronaut pee.

What will happen to the International Space Station when it is retired?

"Things get old in space. Things start to show their age. There have been some cracks discovered that were letting air out, causing leaks"

Other ISS partners start planning for extension to 2030

“We’re very happy to see the announcement from the US side. That’s helping the decision process”
