  • NASA has outlined its goals for maintaining human presence in space beyond 2030, focusing on science, technology, and new commercial space stations.

NASA has outlined a comprehensive strategy to ensure the continued presence and thriving of humans in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) beyond the International Space Station (ISS), which is set to retire by 2030. The strategy includes transitioning from government-led to commercially operated space stations, fostering a robust commercial market in LEO. NASA plans to leverage its experience with the ISS to support the development of new commercial platforms, focusing on safety, reliability, and sustainability. This involves working with private companies like Axiom Space, Blue Origin, and Nanoracks, which are already developing their own space stations. Additionally, NASA aims to expand research opportunities, enhance technology development, and promote international collaboration. The agency is also investing in technologies for in-space manufacturing, food production, and waste recycling to make long-term habitation feasible. This shift is part of NASA's broader vision to enable a sustainable human presence in space, paving the way for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
