NASA and Roskosmos are developing a detailed plan for information of the International Space Station (ISS) from orbit – when this will happen, it has not been able to say confidence, NASA's deputy managers to carry out Ken Bauersks space programs said.
We develop a detailed plan for termination (work) of the station. It is likely that this will happen later, it is likely that it will happen before – if something bad happens to the station.
According to him, the planning plan of the station is one of the people that Washington and Moscow constantly discuss. Currently, the United States is invested in the project until 2030, and Russia until 2028 – this position from last year has not changed, NASA's deputy deputy chief said.
The ISS is in orbit from November 20, 1998. The volume of the station is about 435 tons and with the attached ships can reach 470 tons. The participants of this project are Russia, Canada, USA, Japan and 10 countries of the European Space Agency (Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, France, Sweden, Switzerland).
