The Coming End of ISS, Symbol of an Era of Global Cooperation

The International Space Station will be de‑orbited in 2030 using a SpaceX‑built vehicle, ending a three‑decade era of continuous human presence in low‑Earth orbit. Launched after the Cold War, the ISS became a flagship of U.S.–Russia cooperation despite recent geopolitical tensions. NASA’s plan shifts focus toward commercially operated stations, while China’s Tiangong will remain the only government‑run platform. Private firms such as Axiom Space and Blue Origin are already designing the next generation of orbital habitats.
