Low Earth orbit is an incredible environment that offers very unique and specific advantages when compared to Earth. For decades now the International Space Station has been circling the planet and providing different countries consistent access to this space. This being said, nothing can last forever and this especially is the case for such an expensive upkeep.
However, despite the high cost and some of the aging features of the station, NASA recently gave an update on the plans for the ISS. This included an extension to 2030 and more details on the future of accessing space. More specifically, NASA has now provided an updated International Space Station Transition Report that details the goals for the next decade of station operations leading to a transition to commercial services.
These steps give us an idea of what to expect in the coming years and why the International Space Station is so important. Not to mention the future plans and how it will transition into a commercial opportunity for multiple different companies. Here I will go more in-depth into the updated plans of the station, what to expect over the next decade, and more.
