The International Space Station (ISS) has been a cornerstone of humanity’s presence in space for over two decades. However, with its decommissioning set for 2031, the curtain is closing on an era defined by international collaboration and groundbreaking research.

Cracks have appeared in the modules, and vital systems have started to degrade. Even its once pristine solar panels, which powered countless experiments, have been ravaged by the harsh conditions of space. Russia has reported that much of its portion of the station is no longer fit for the rigours of spaceflight.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are waiting for their new ride back to Earth via SpaceX’s Crew Dragon this spring.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams originally planned to go to space for just eight days but got stuck on the ISS when their Boeing Starliner spacecraft started experiencing problems.

NASA astronaut Don Pettit shared jaw-dropping footage of an undulating green aurora as seen during a flyover from the International Space Station.

The world's first wooden satellite has officially been deployed. Built by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the timber-clad device hitched a ride on a SpaceX mission which brought it to the International Space Station last November.
