NASA official says the ISS may not be retired in 2030 if commercial space stations are not ready.
NASA has hinted that it may extend the life of the International Space Station (ISS) beyond 2030 if there are no viable alternatives in the form of commercial space stations.
As per SpaceNews, Ken Bowersox, NASA associate administrator for space operations, said at the Beyond Earth Symposium on November 2 that the agency was flexible about the future of the ISS and would only retire it once there were new platforms to replace it.
