The US will work with other countries on the International Space Station through the year 2030. The transition to a planned commercial space station in the late 2020s will be smooth.
The funds have been approved. NASA administrator Bill Nelson said in May that he wants to work on the International Space Station through 2030.
The future of the ISS was called into question.
The future of the space station was thrown into doubt in the year of 2018, when a draft budget proposal from the Trump administration had planned to end support for the space station in 2025. Tensions between the US and Russia have threatened cooperation on the International Space Station. Russia blew up a satellite in November, creating a dangerous debris cloud.
Nelson said that it was more important than ever that the United States continued to lead the world in growing international alliances and modeling rules for the peaceful and responsible use of space.
