Congress Seeks Two-Year Extension For International Space Station
US lawmakers are pushing to extend the operational life of the International Space Station (ISS) by two years, to 2032, in order to give commercial space outposts more time to develop and take over its responsibilities. The current ISS operations are set to expire in 2030, and the extension would provide a buffer for a smooth transition. According to SPACE, Congress is driving this effort to ensure continuity in human spaceflight capabilities. This development was reported by SPACE.
