Russia is going to eventually build an all-new space station in a different and 'steeper' orbit than ISS.

And those modules were extremely stressed with the recent arrival of Nauka; which fired it's thrusters in a virtually out-of-control manner. And Nauka can never leave ISS and be used elsewhere; it's primary propulsion systems failed on the trip up to ISS - it's backup thrusters were barely enough to complete the job and they are not designed to be re-fuelable and reusable, anyway.

Amazing and sad at the same time, but all things come to an end. One thing that struck me as strange and maybe even a bit frightening... it looks like there is still a Soyuz craft docked at the end of the Zvezda module in your ISS model.
Odds are, that’s a Progress resupply module, likely emptied of supplies and just docked for use in the de-orbit maneuver- and left attached to the station because there’s no need to bring an unmanned supply capsule back down.
Who knows. With Starship, should it be successful, I’m sure they could take it apart module by module, store it in the cargo bay and land them back on earth. Would be cool to have a museum with it fully reconstructed.
If it can't then the mission to the Moon and Mars is in jeopardy. Obviously, both of those planetary and lunar bodies have less gravity than Earth but that should allow for a substantial payload capability for Earth landings. @@nzredwolf4048
Indeed The iss was a symbol of the usa and Russian unity As one World But Our world is divided But one last hope is the deorbit The Day it happens Will be either we unite over it's End or Divide more
When I live to see this day, it will be the saddest. I have grown up watching Soyuz launched, Cygnus resupplies, crew dragons, and shuttles go up there. I have all these memories of it, but they will live on. When the day comes, I will watch silently,with tears rolling down my face, and when it’s over, I will look away, and sob. Early RIP to the iss. 😭
Most likely - it will be separated into sections - probably end up with the usable modules sold off to buyers. It costs a lot of money to get that much hardware up there. Zarya and the rest might be failing, but there is still a good decade or so in the newer components. And then the old sections will either be brought back using Starships for display in museums, or deorbited over the Point Nemo in the Pacific, so as not to risk any damage.
Impossible in fact. Only the Russian segment will be re-used - while ALL other components will burn up. It is categorically impossible for Starship to return any large payload from orbit. It is not designed to do so, and has no mechanism which would allow this to happen. Starships land empty except for a little fuel. Attempting to land one with many extra tonnes of payload will destroy the vehicle. Period. End of story. Simply not designed for it. The shuttle couldn't return any modules to Earth either.
@@Chris.Davies the (now permanently retired) Shuttle could not have returned any of the modules that it had launched up there? are you SURE about that? I think you are mistaken.
It requires regular boosts from visiting ships to stay in orbit. If left alone it will de-orbit due to parasitic drag from the atmosphere. It may be able to be boosted high enough to stay up for a long time though
Yep, boost it higher in Orbit and let it sit there. And who knows, maybe in a few decades a crazy Trillionaire restores it as a Museum or what ever. And even if not, it will be a eternal monument to the combined efforts of humankind.
No matter when its last day in orbit will be (or some fortunate move to raise it to a new orbit) , the birthplace for space faring life and civilization will be remembered by people forever... A 20+ year old masterpiece zooming at 27,500 kmph 😘
It is extremely saddening that in the near future, the only thing that will keep the International Space Station’s memory alive are the stories and books of the ones who saw or knew it.
oh god wow this is beautiful.... it even rivals one of the other best animations of a space station reentering, which is more of a KSP video (that video is Huge Space Station Deorbit, it was uploaded by SWDennis)
@Ulmer Cubing and More The Russian segment on it's own has some fuel and propulsion, if even this isn't enough maybe some more Progresses and MAYBE things like Starliners (Dragon is not able to boost ISS)
I would hope it would be boosted into a higher orbit and mothballed for a potential future museum. Perhaps build hotels near it for space tourists so they can "look outside a window and look at an abandoned space station from the early days." That way, tourism can help fund its preservation.
@@scoutdynamics3272 It doesnt has to be structuraly sound. If its boosted up to a higher orbit you could just lower the pressure and even it out to outside "pressure". It would stop cracking and the fatigue would stop aswell since no Ships would dock etc. In that state it could survive a few decades. Or we could temporarily fix the structure, so that it survives a few more decades without use. Just to preserve it. Its the first real Space Station after all. Thats like burning up Oldtimers because we have new Cars.
I think a concern with keeping up a dead ISS is that it would be a huge source of debris if something were to hit it. While it's operational, it can dodge.
It's doubtful that the ISS would be allowed to de-orbit & burn up as one big structure, a LOT of it would survive reentry ☄️. More likely, it would be disassembled into smaller sections before de-orbiting them individually. I suppose it's even possible that some components may be left in orbit for re-use in other projects 🛰️ 🌌🔭
The Mir space station, although smaller than the ISS, was deorbited in one chunk ;) Most of the time, big satellite (or space station) are deorbited while aiming the Nemo point in south pacific ocean. It is the farthest point from every landmass (and island) and there is little few boats coming trough this area. This area is known to be the gratest satellites cemetery. Nevertheless, as you says, a lot of element will be half burnt when "waterbreaking" with the ocean at terminal velocity. I'm pretty sure that day, a notice will be sent to ships to avoid th area. Saddly, it's the most economic, safe and pragmatic solution.
@@unknownstormcloud5281 That's why Parts should be cannibalized & repurposed for other projects. De-orbiting in one piece may be cheaper, but in no way, shape, or form, can it be safer. On 11 July, 1979, the largest spacecraft to ever crash to Earth, Skylab, scattered debris over a 150km. -wide section of western Australia 🌏🦘 It was never meant to be that way. Without a doubt, ISS will be disassembled & de-orbited in pieces, not whole! Parts will be repurposed> Of that I am 100% certain 🛰️ 🌌🔭
Sorry. Starship can not return modules to Earth. They are designed to launch payloads, not land them. No current Starship design can ever get to Mars (except with dead or dying people inside) and it can't land on Mars, either, because it is not designed to land on legs. I am terribly sorry to burst your bubble, but Elon can't save the ISS by any means other the boosting it to a higher orbit. And no one is going to pay for that.
Once it's determined that it's unsafe for habitation but strong enough to keep itself together, run it with Elon's robots. It could eventually be a live museum exhibit. Use ion thrusters to eventually get to an l whatever point for safekeeping. But for God's Sake, let's not do ANYTHING until we have its replacement in orbit and running.
It would be an impressive meteor shower if they bring it down together like that. I hope the reentry is recorded and tracked in lots of detail so we can see how it burns up.
@@Chris.Davies and the reason is , that the nations that launched the individual modules retain the responsibility (under treaty) to have a plan and EXECUTE their plan to deorbit it at "end-of-service-life" AND they cannot sell that responsibility.
I swear youtube reads brains because i was watching the space station today live and thought this exact question will the station re-enter the atmosphere
"We'll ISS Your time has come to deorbit." "Wait, was I a great Space Station?" "Yes, and you will be remembered by the people who lived in the 21st Century."
ISS is gonna die, it will crash to point nemo. Stage 1: Solar Panels Burned Stage 2: Zarya and Zvezda's Solar Arrays Burned Stage 3: Australian Trajectory Stage 4: Raising the death and crashed to point nemo.
Coming back to this a couple years later. As truly saddening as this event will be to see, I do think it's almost necessary. I'm almost certain I will shed a tear when the ISS comes down, but I also know it'll be symbollic of us moving on. For a few decades, the ISS kept us shackled to the Earth and her low orbit. But with multiple human-rated superheavy lift launch vehicles coming on line, it'll be almost as if it's waving farewell to a past generation to usher us into a multi-planetary future. I hope, but I know I hope against the same when I do, that the ISS lives to see us set foot on Mars, but even if it doesn't, it symbollises decades of human advancement in our understanding of the cosmos. The paths we follow next were laid out by the researchers on the station, and I hope that everyone remembers, as the last flaming pieces of the ISS come tumbling down from space, that it's missions weren't in vain, and that it's achievements will never be forgotten.
I had the idea that the hard part is already done--getting them into orbit. Why not move some modules to the moon, either as habitat, or simply raw materials? Nothing I have read seems to touch on the concept.🇺🇸
Жаль конечно когда это произойдет, но это будет скоро, где то в 2024 году если верить официальным новостям. Надеюсь МКС не упадёт на населённые пункты. Было бы круто увидеть это событие
What a sight this will be! The sound will be fantastic as well. Both sound and fury for those fortunate enough to witness the end of the ISS. But, I often think about what will replace it. Something larger, more sophisticated and more tailored to human beings with active gravity. Modularity of design would still be very useful in future concepts. No doubt that the ISS will be a stepping stone to something better for all the Earth's inhabitants.
As cool as I think that would be, what is the application for gravity on an orbital station? If you mean a small wheel for exercise and keeping your bone density up like in 2001, I agree that makes sense.
This is too sad, I hope spacex starship wil be ready in time so it can safely bring back this magnificent piece of history that should be honoured for all the invaluable data, experience and iconic missions it produced and supported in its live time.
it's quite fitting that one of the newest space companies is now task in deorbiting the old ISS, which would be disheartening to see it go down like that, yet hey those newer space companies will make it possible to live out in space for a few days, in like several decades.
2:33 Revelation 8:10-11: And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

are we sure a starship will be able to *land* with a heavy payload?
If it can't then the mission to the Moon and Mars is in jeopardy. Obviously, both of those planetary and lunar bodies have less gravity than Earth but that should allow for a substantial payload capability for Earth landings. @@nzredwolf4048
I rlly like how at 2:43 he also included the sonic booms. Great level of detail there :DD

Indeed
The iss was a symbol of the usa and Russian unity
As one World
But Our world is divided
But one last hope is the deorbit
The Day it happens Will be either we unite over it's End or Divide more
The same view we saw on the De Orbit of the Mighty Soviet Mir Station.
This really makes me wonder though if Starship might try to save a few modules to put in museums.
Hopefully, it’s possible.
When I live to see this day, it will be the saddest. I have grown up watching Soyuz launched, Cygnus resupplies, crew dragons, and shuttles go up there. I have all these memories of it, but they will live on. When the day comes, I will watch silently,with tears rolling down my face, and when it’s over, I will look away, and sob. Early RIP to the iss. 😭
Most likely - it will be separated into sections - probably end up with the usable modules sold off to buyers. It costs a lot of money to get that much hardware up there. Zarya and the rest might be failing, but there is still a good decade or so in the newer components. And then the old sections will either be brought back using Starships for display in museums, or deorbited over the Point Nemo in the Pacific, so as not to risk any damage.
Impossible in fact. Only the Russian segment will be re-used - while ALL other components will burn up.
It is categorically impossible for Starship to return any large payload from orbit. It is not designed to do so, and has no mechanism which would allow this to happen.
Starships land empty except for a little fuel. Attempting to land one with many extra tonnes of payload will destroy the vehicle. Period. End of story. Simply not designed for it.
The shuttle couldn't return any modules to Earth either.
@@Chris.Davies the (now permanently retired) Shuttle could not have returned any of the modules that it had launched up there? are you SURE about that? I think you are mistaken.
Getting Better. Keep the hard work going.
I think the ISS should be left as a museum in orbit and just for the sake of not throwing so much hard work away.
It requires regular boosts from visiting ships to stay in orbit. If left alone it will de-orbit due to parasitic drag from the atmosphere. It may be able to be boosted high enough to stay up for a long time though
@@ChevTecGroup Yes, I know. On Earth, museums are constantly maintained too.
Yep, boost it higher in Orbit and let it sit there.
And who knows, maybe in a few decades a crazy Trillionaire restores it as a Museum or what ever.
And even if not, it will be a eternal monument to the combined efforts of humankind.
No matter when its last day in orbit will be (or some fortunate move to raise it to a new orbit) , the birthplace for space faring life and civilization will be remembered by people forever... A 20+ year old masterpiece zooming at 27,500 kmph 😘
We've seen this in the movie Gravity thank you
It is extremely saddening that in the near future, the only thing that will keep the International Space Station’s memory alive are the stories and books of the ones who saw or knew it.
They should drop smaller pieces off at different parts of it's final few orbits so most everyone can see something.
I'm sure they'll take down some pieces of it to put in a museum... Hopefully :c
Suggestion: a bunch of starships observing ISS deorbit from distance
Why don’t we get SpaceX starship to disassemble the space station and return the pieces back to earth to display in a museum
oh god wow this is beautiful.... it even rivals one of the other best animations of a space station reentering, which is more of a KSP video (that video is Huge Space Station Deorbit, it was uploaded by SWDennis)
Pretty sure it will be done piece by piece rather than ksp'ing the whole fkn space station..lol
As always rhe animation is Superb
agree was thinking the same thing, mass would be too big, and slowed down to fast what will result in too much or too large debris hitting earth
No, the plan is to use a Progress vehicle to deorbit the entire space station in one go over the Pacific.
@@kyled7969 ISS is way bigger and heavier than Mir, which i guess is their concern
@Ulmer Cubing and More The Russian segment on it's own has some fuel and propulsion, if even this isn't enough maybe some more Progresses and MAYBE things like Starliners (Dragon is not able to boost ISS)
After years of work
The true king of stations and the beast has came down
Where do you get the 3D models from
I would hope it would be boosted into a higher orbit and mothballed for a potential future museum. Perhaps build hotels near it for space tourists so they can "look outside a window and look at an abandoned space station from the early days." That way, tourism can help fund its preservation.
It already has cracks making it structurally unsound.
@@scoutdynamics3272 It doesnt has to be structuraly sound.
If its boosted up to a higher orbit you could just lower the pressure and even it out to outside "pressure".
It would stop cracking and the fatigue would stop aswell since no Ships would dock etc.
In that state it could survive a few decades.
Or we could temporarily fix the structure, so that it survives a few more decades without use.
Just to preserve it.
Its the first real Space Station after all.
Thats like burning up Oldtimers because we have new Cars.
@@Intrepid17011 No. it will break apart and cause space junk. It needs to be de orbited
I think a concern with keeping up a dead ISS is that it would be a huge source of debris if something were to hit it. While it's operational, it can dodge.
@@scoutdynamics3272 Why would it cause space junk if its lifted to a high orbit ?
The chances are slim and its worth it.
It's doubtful that the ISS would be allowed to de-orbit & burn up as one big structure, a LOT of it would survive reentry ☄️. More likely, it would be disassembled into smaller sections before de-orbiting them individually.
I suppose it's even possible that some components may be left in orbit for re-use in other projects 🛰️
🌌🔭
They may use the Progress to deorbit individual modules, like what happened some weeks ago,
The Mir space station, although smaller than the ISS, was deorbited in one chunk ;) Most of the time, big satellite (or space station) are deorbited while aiming the Nemo point in south pacific ocean. It is the farthest point from every landmass (and island) and there is little few boats coming trough this area. This area is known to be the gratest satellites cemetery.
Nevertheless, as you says, a lot of element will be half burnt when "waterbreaking" with the ocean at terminal velocity. I'm pretty sure that day, a notice will be sent to ships to avoid th area. Saddly, it's the most economic, safe and pragmatic solution.

It costs more to de orbit all the parts than to keep it
@@unknownstormcloud5281 That's why Parts should be cannibalized & repurposed for other projects.
De-orbiting in one piece may be cheaper, but in no way, shape, or form, can it be safer. On 11 July, 1979, the largest spacecraft to ever crash to Earth, Skylab, scattered debris over a 150km. -wide section of western Australia 🌏🦘
It was never meant to be that way.
Without a doubt, ISS will be disassembled & de-orbited in pieces, not whole! Parts will be repurposed> Of that I am 100% certain 🛰️
🌌🔭
It’s been true to us her whole life.
Hopefully, this will not happen. Instead, the main modules will be brought back to Earth inside SpaceX Starships.
Sorry. Starship can not return modules to Earth. They are designed to launch payloads, not land them. No current Starship design can ever get to Mars (except with dead or dying people inside) and it can't land on Mars, either, because it is not designed to land on legs.
I am terribly sorry to burst your bubble, but Elon can't save the ISS by any means other the boosting it to a higher orbit. And no one is going to pay for that.
Those sonic booms make this video great
Once it's determined that it's unsafe for habitation but strong enough to keep itself together, run it with Elon's robots. It could eventually be a live museum exhibit. Use ion thrusters to eventually get to an l whatever point for safekeeping. But for God's Sake, let's not do ANYTHING until we have its replacement in orbit and running.
I wish there was a chain of missions in the near future that would undock the ISS modules de-orbit and re-assemble it on earth as a museum piece.
F
Wow, this actually made me tear up a little. :((
It would be an impressive meteor shower if they bring it down together like that. I hope the reentry is recorded and tracked in lots of detail so we can see how it burns up.
This is both sad and mildly disturbing. I’m hoping starship will be able to bring back most of the modules and put them in a museum.
I could imagine a private consortium buys the station and turns it into a space hotel. Great video, very well made. Thanks
You can imagine all you like, but that can not happen, and will not happen.
@@Chris.Davies and the reason is , that the nations that launched the individual modules retain the responsibility (under treaty) to have a plan and EXECUTE their plan to deorbit it at "end-of-service-life" AND they cannot sell that responsibility.
Those sonic booms were a nice touch.
Wow 😲 love your videos so much,Thanks man 🚀
Perfect animation, even perfecter music
If by perfect, you mean "filled with inaccuracies" then yeah, I guess so!
Imagine you're just sitting on your couch and then you hear a boom behind you and it was the ISS's debris falling down
A souvenir!
I swear youtube reads brains because i was watching the space station today live and thought this exact question will the station re-enter the atmosphere
That was insane! Great job as always.
Im guessing would be extremely expensive to just boost it to a higher orbit like the space graveyard)?
Loved the attention to detail with new solar panels coming loose
Bruh how tf did you get my KSP gameplay footage
"We'll ISS Your time has come to deorbit."
"Wait, was I a great Space Station?"
"Yes, and you will be remembered by the people who lived in the 21st Century."
Guys... the de orbit date has been revealed January 2031.
WOW ! Great video !
2:32 : AMAZING !😃
Wonder who volunteered to stay and deorbit it, such a brave person, may he/she rest in peace
The dude in the bathroom be like: *damn John, you made a fart so loud that the station fell*
U do great stuff jared
ISS is gonna die, it will crash to point nemo.
Stage 1:
Solar Panels Burned
Stage 2:
Zarya and Zvezda's Solar Arrays Burned
Stage 3:
Australian Trajectory
Stage 4:
Raising the death and crashed to point nemo.
some of the bigger chunks would have splashed into the ocean - a little disappointed that wasn't shown - 🛸
If they slow it down to the speed of the earth they could attach huge parachutes to it and it can fall straight down to the ground
It still got destroyed due to the atmosphere also adding a parachute to a 400 ton?

Coming back to this a couple years later. As truly saddening as this event will be to see, I do think it's almost necessary. I'm almost certain I will shed a tear when the ISS comes down, but I also know it'll be symbollic of us moving on. For a few decades, the ISS kept us shackled to the Earth and her low orbit. But with multiple human-rated superheavy lift launch vehicles coming on line, it'll be almost as if it's waving farewell to a past generation to usher us into a multi-planetary future. I hope, but I know I hope against the same when I do, that the ISS lives to see us set foot on Mars, but even if it doesn't, it symbollises decades of human advancement in our understanding of the cosmos. The paths we follow next were laid out by the researchers on the station, and I hope that everyone remembers, as the last flaming pieces of the ISS come tumbling down from space, that it's missions weren't in vain, and that it's achievements will never be forgotten.
Can we not move the ISS and Hubble to a high 'museum' orbit? Or park them in orbit around the moon? Seems like such a waste to let them burn up.
I had the idea that the hard part is already done--getting them into orbit. Why not move some modules to the moon, either as habitat, or simply raw materials? Nothing I have read seems to touch on the concept.🇺🇸
Жаль конечно когда это произойдет, но это будет скоро, где то в 2024 году если верить официальным новостям. Надеюсь МКС не упадёт на населённые пункты. Было бы круто увидеть это событие
They could repurpose the ISS as a Refueling station for moon Missions and Future Mars missions.
What a sight this will be! The sound will be fantastic as well. Both sound and fury for those fortunate enough to witness the end of the ISS. But, I often think about what will replace it. Something larger, more sophisticated and more tailored to human beings with active gravity. Modularity of design would still be very useful in future concepts. No doubt that the ISS will be a stepping stone to something better for all the Earth's inhabitants.
As cool as I think that would be, what is the application for gravity on an orbital station? If you mean a small wheel for exercise and keeping your bone density up like in 2001, I agree that makes sense.
This is great! but seeing it burn up is a pain :(
Indeed
If the iss comes down.. it will become history....
If NASA announces when/where one can watch this funeral pyre, I will watch.
Silently.
With tears.
First Skylab! In 2032, this with help from SPACE X! It is always a shame that it all will get incinerated🔥! Gravity and Friction always win!!!
Admit it, your favorite one in this animation is the Multiple Sonic Booms on the Shooting Star Passing
This is too sad, I hope spacex starship wil be ready in time so it can safely bring back this magnificent piece of history that should be honoured for all the invaluable data, experience and iconic missions it produced and supported in its live time.
I hope it is visible in my area. It will be a bittersweet beautiful sight
it's quite fitting that one of the newest space companies is now task in deorbiting the old ISS, which would be disheartening to see it go down like that, yet hey those newer space companies will make it possible to live out in space for a few days, in like several decades.
gf: oh look its a shooting star make a wish
bf: no, thats the ISS
Minus 500 trillion carbon credits.
I'd wish they could bring at least a couple of modules down here so they can be displayed on a museum but i know that's too much to ask for sadly.
2:33
Revelation 8:10-11:
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
It should be brought back and put in a museum.
Imagine riding it like a cowboy on a horse, only at hypersonic speeds and coming out with 6th degree burns
