NASA reports that Roscosmos recently outfitted the ISS with “a new Russian research and docking module, and several power systems upgrades that will operate for the life of the vehicle.” Last winter, the ISS partners discovered an atmospheric leak in the Russian segment of the service module and are working to mitigate this shared risk to the station’s longevity. The ISS Was Not Designed for Disassemblyįrom a technological perspective, it is unlikely that Russia will “ quit” the ISS before 2030. Collectively, these words do not offer much encouragement that Russia will “save the last dance” for the ISS in 2030. Last spring, Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov indicated that Russia might end its decades-long partnership with the ISS by 2025, and is developing modules for a new Russian orbital station. Rogozin has repeatedly stated that Moscow intends to leave the ISS in response to sanctions, though no formal decisions have been made. For instance, after the Biden administration announced economic sanctions against Russia’s space program, the director of Roscosmos, Dmitri Rogozin, rebuked the United States on Twitter, saying, “Do you want to destroy our cooperation on the ISS?” (author’s translation). Focusing on Roscosmosįollowing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, space ties between Russia and the United States have shown signs of unraveling. In addition to NASA, the ISS is also supported by the European Space Agency, Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Canadian Space Agency, and the Russian State Space Corporation, Roscosmos. The station can be safely operated under the aegis of NASA through 2030, but will need to be de-orbited, according to the new International Space Station Transition Report. Last December, the Biden administration pledged to extend the technical lifespan of the 1998 space station through 2030 to promote deep space exploration and continued collaboration with the 16 partner nations. President Biden’s Pledge to the ISS through 2030 Simply put, the ISS infrastructure is aging. But the “dancing days” of the largest satellite to orbit the Earth are numbered. Occasionally, the International Space Station (ISS) must perform special dance maneuvers to avoid colliding with other objects. Save the Last Dance for the International Space Station

#INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION 2021 UPGRADE#
Astronauts and cosmonauts conducted 13 spacewalks, and their work included installing new solar panels to augment and upgrade the station’s power supply. An upgraded cargo Dragon spacecraft returned time sensitive research to scientists on the ground. Multiple Soyuz spacecrafts carried astronauts to and from station. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1, Crew-2, and Crew-3 missions supported hundreds of science experiments aboard the orbiting laboratory. “It has been a busy year of research aboard the International Space Station. NASA describes 2021 on the ISS as follows: It’s been a big year for the International Space Station (ISS) with countless research experiments performed, visits from astronauts other than the station partners along with spaceflight participants.
