The International Space Station (ISS) is set to be decommissioned and deorbited by 2030, signaling a major shift towards the commercialization of space. As the ISS approaches the end of its operational life, the focus is moving to the development of lower-orbit commercial space stations. Axiom Space, a Houston-based company, is leading this transition with plans to launch the first commercial space station by late 2026. This initiative is part of a larger trend that includes scientific and medical research, as well as mining and tourism in space.
