Private Space Station Companies Offer Dueling Press Releases
2026-03-22 06:26:00 ET
Construction of the International Space Station (ISS) began in 1998, and 28 years later, it's starting to show its age. With persistent air leaks on the Russian side, it's slated to be pushed to a fiery death by a SpaceX spacecraft in 2031 .
The ISS might win a reprieve. A revised NASA authorization bill making its way through the U.S. Senate calls for keeping it around until 2032. Just in case ISS doesn't last that long, though, the bill also instructs NASA to sign contracts with two or more companies working to build a replacement.
