What is the news?
The world’s International Space Station (ISS) is now in its final stages and is being planned to deorbit by 2030. In such a situation, many private companies are preparing to build new commercial space stations as an alternative. NASA is also supporting this change and is working with private companies for a future in Low Earth Orbit, so that research and activities in space can continue.
Big plans of Blue Origin and other companies
Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin is building a project named ‘Orbital Reef’ in collaboration with Sierra Space. It is being designed like a space business park, where research and commercial work can be done. Apart from this, Axiom Space is also building its own station, whose first module can connect to the ISS by 2027 and later it will work completely independently, which will also increase new opportunities in space.

Starlab, Vast Space and Max Space also in the race
Starlab Space, which is a joint project of Voyager Space and Airbus, is preparing to launch its station by 2029. Vast Space is building new modular stations under the ‘Heaven’ series. Apart from this, Max Space is working on a station named ‘Thunderbird’, which will use inflatable technology, which will enable large space stations to be built at low cost and will meet future needs.
NASA’s deorbit plans and future direction
NASA is planning to drop the ISS safely into the sea, so that no populated area is harmed. For this, Space-X has been given the task of making a deorbit vehicle. In the coming time, NASA will shift its operations to private stations in Low Earth Orbit. This will provide new opportunities for research in space and can also reduce costs, which will give a boost to the space industry.
