NASA: ISS predicted to crash on Earth in coming years
The International Space Station (ISS) will be operational until 2030, before plunging into the Pacific Ocean in 2031, according to NASA.
The US space agency announced its plans to bury the ISS at a spacecraft cemetery called the South Pacific Oceanic Uninhabited Area or simply, Point Nemo. Point Nemo is the furthest from land on Earth and has remained inaccessible to mankind.
The ISS is only allowed to operate until 2024, due to which extensions in the operation timeline would require proper ratification from the other nations involved.
