Borisov's announcement marks a significant shift in Russia's space program, as he noted that, 'in coordination with our American colleagues, we plan to de-orbit the station sometime around the beginning of 2030.' This indicates a newfound cooperation between Russia and NASA regarding the future of the ISS.
The Russian space agency has faced numerous equipment failures and maintenance challenges. Borisov remarked, 'Today our cosmonauts have to spend more time repairing equipment and less and less time conducting experiments,' highlighting the diminishing returns of Russia's continued involvement with the aging ISS.
