Manage episode 427014301 series 2664539
NASA have announced that the International Space Station is doomed to de-orbit by 2031, and SpaceX are going to help take it down with a contract worth $1.26 billion (AUD).
It’s the end of an era – the ISS was for many years a beacon of international cooperation in the final frontier of space.
So why is the ISS being decommissioned, will a new station be replacing it, and what does this mean for international space relations in the future?
Dr Rebecca Allen, Co-Director of the Space Technology and Industry Institute at Swinburne University of Technology, joined The Briefing to explain.
