Russia to withdraw International Space Station (ISS) after 2024
Russian space agency will leave the International Space Station (ISS) after 2024 and focus on building its own orbiting space station.
NASA and its other space station partners wants to operate ISS until 2030, after which the ISS would be deorbited and crashed into a remote part of the Pacific Ocean.
However, Russian space agencies decision has put question mark on this plan of NASA.
ISS was launched in 1998 jointly by five space agencies, namely, Russia, the US, Japan, Canada and Europe.
