The International Space Station will meet its end in 2031. Where will it crash and what will take its place?

ABC

The clock is ticking for the International Space Station, with NASA last week declaring plans to let it plummet back to Earth in 2031. The space station's international focus has been a "wonderful thing in many ways", says Duncan Steel, a space scientist at Xerra Earth Observation Institute in New Zealand. "Oxygen atoms are very strongly oxidising, and the space station is flying around 7.8km per second through this very tenuous atmosphere of oxygen atoms," Dr Steel said. Russia, which has built and operated one side of the International Space Station, plans to develop and deploy its own enterprise — the Russian Orbital Service Station — in five or six years' time.
