A controlled deorbit would allow the ISS to be brought down to Earth at a time and place of NASA's choosing, creating the lowest possible risk to people and infrastructure. This is the option NASA ...

The International Space Station is an engineering marvel dating back to 1998 - but it wont be orbiting Earth forever ...

The International Space Station (ISS) has had a leak since at least 2019 and NASA warns it could lead to a "catastrophic failure" if it's not fixed.

The ISS altered its orbit to evade debris from a 2015 satellite breakup, marking its 39th such maneuver since 1998.

“NASA anticipated that Roscosmos would commit to the Agency’s ISS deorbit plan — which requires a continued partnership through 2030 — in the summer of 2023. However, as of June ...

The milestone marks a symbolic beginning of the end for the ISS, as data from the maneuver will be used toward the design of the deorbit vehicle NASA has contracted SpaceX to construct to plunge ...

At 12:50 p.m. ET today (November 8), NASA and SpaceX monitored the Dragon spacecraft as it successfully demonstrated its ability to reboost the International Space Station, according to an agency ...

The Dragon is also not specifically designed to do this job, as its main task is to carry cargo, but the option to use it will give more data on eventual ISS deorbit plans. The Dragon arrived at ...

That deorbit vehicle will have triple the engines of a standard Dragon, but those engines will be the same units from SpaceX’s existing craft. Data obtained pushing the ISS around now will be ...
