NASA has released its plans for the next decade of operations for the International Space Station (ISS), including its retirement in 2031. Following the end of operations in 2030, the ISS will fall out of orbit and crash into the South Pacific in an area called Port Nemo, the report revealed.

NASA's report explains how the operations of the ISS will be transitioned to commercial low-Earth orbit destinations, set to begin operations in the late 2020s, that will be used by both government and private-sector customers.
