Future space station. The future of the space station may be in private hands. The planned chinese space station will be roughly one fifth the mass of the international space station and about the size of the decommissioned russian mir space station. This future science station which will effectively replace the international space station when it reaches retirement age in the 2020s will be a fraction of the size but carry astronauts hundreds. It s the end of iss but it has spawned a new generation of stations that even now are.
The chinese station is expected to have a mass between 80 and 100 tonnes. The planned launch date of the core module the tianhe is 2.

Bigelow aerospace is one of the major companies. The iss will be a vast improvement over salyut skylab and mir. The international space station will continue to serve as the world s leading laboratory where researchers can conduct cutting edge research and technology development to enable human and robotic exploration of the moon and mars. We are just beginning the development of space stations.
