Administration Trump plans to privatise the International Space Station (Video)

The White House plans to stop funding the International Space Station after 2024, ending the federal direct support of the orbital laboratory.

But this does not mean that orbital laboratory will be abandoned, but this will be directed by the private sector, says a NASA internal document provided by the Washington Post”, the Periscope broadcast.

The decision to end support for the ISS in 2025 does not mean that the platform itself will be deorbited at the time it is possible that the industry could continue operating as part of a future trade platform,” said in the state document.

“NASA will extend its private partnership to the next seven years in order to ensure continued access to people and presence in low Earth orbit. ”/Periscopi/
