NEW YORK, August 3. /TASS/. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) expects that the US Congress will extend the work of the ISS until 2030 this year. This was stated on Tuesday by the agency's director Bill Nelson, speaking at an online event organized by the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
"I believe that the Congress will extend the operation of the station until 2030 this year," he said.
Earlier, Roscosmos distributed a message about the meeting of the Presidium of the Scientific and Technical Council held on July 31, in which it was noted that "the Council of chief designers, having considered the current state of the RS (Russian segment-approx. TASS) He noted that due to the aging of a significant part of the station's equipment, the further operation of the Russian segment of the ISS after 2024 creates additional risks." In this regard, in order to "prevent the termination of the continuous development of near-Earth space infrastructure, it is proposed to create a national manned space complex in low-Earth orbit - the Russian orbital Service Station".
