NASA to deorbit space station in 2030 NASA plans to bring the International Space Station's quarter-century mission to an end in 2030, steering the football field-sized laboratory into a controlled descent over the Pacific Ocean as the agency shifts toward a new era of commercial space platforms in low-Earth orbit. The transition comes as NASA released its final Phase 2 announcement this week for commercial space station development, with the agency expecting to award up to $1.5 billion to at least two companies by April 2026 to build replacement facilities. The announcement follows months of industry consultation as NASA seeks to maintain continuous human presence in space while reducing operational costs.
