What Is the US Deorbit Vehicle? - New Space Economy
The International Space Station represents the largest single structure humans have ever assembled in space. For more than two decades, this orbital laboratory has served as a continuous home for astronauts and cosmonauts, a diplomatic bridge between global powers, and a testing ground for the technologies required to venture deeper into the solar system. However, the station operates in a harsh environment. Thermal cycling, radiation, and micrometeoroid impacts degrade its structural integrity over time. The seals are aging, the metal shows signs of fatigue, and the risk of a catastrophic failure increases with each passing year.
