According to Joel Montalbano, the head of the American ISS program, the decision on the future of the orbital station will be made by "international partners, each of whom must coordinate it with their government".

CAPE CANAVERAL /Florida/, December 20. /Correspondent of TASS Sergey Yumatov/. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will make every effort to ensure that the International Space Station (ISS) continues to function at least until 2030. Joel Montalbano, the head of the American ISS program, said this in an interview with TASS on Monday.

"Our goal is to continue using the ISS," he said. "I can say that we are cooperating with our partners to ensure that the space station continues to function until 2030."

According to Montalbano, the decision on the future fate of the orbital station will be made by "international partners, each of whom must coordinate it with their government." "But now the station is working at full capacity, and we, including myself personally, as well as our partners, will do everything possible to make it work until 2030," said the head of the American ISS program.

In April, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that the state of the ISS leaves much to be desired, so Russia can focus on creating its own project - the Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS). The rocket and Space corporation Energia is tasked with ensuring the readiness of the first module for the new station in 2025, it will be a scientific and energy module, which was previously supposed to be launched to the ISS in 2024.

On September 2, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin announced that the start of the ROSS deployment is scheduled in five to six years. NASA noted that they expect to continue cooperation on the ISS at least until 2030.
