Russia Plans to Undock Their Segment from ISS in 2024 to Form Core of Own Space Station


Russia's space agency expects the International Space Station to stay in orbit through 2024, and plans to create its own space outpost with its segment of the station after that.

Roscosmos' scientific council concluded Tuesday that several Russian modules could eventually be undocked to "perform the task of ensuring Russia's guaranteed presence in space."


Note: the Zarya Module, while built by the Russians, is American owned.
