The administration of the current American President Joe Biden has agreed on the cooperation of the United States with the International Space Station until 2030. However, the US is already planning a gradual transition from the ISS to other platforms..

The continuation of cooperation with the ISS was reported by the US National Aerospace Agency (NASA).

The ISS is an international project involving five space agencies: NASA (USA), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe) and CSA (Canada). The Biden administration has decided to partner with these agencies until 2030..

NASA chief Bill Nelson said that continued United States participation in the ISS will increase competitiveness, as well as expand the research and technology needed to fly the first woman and first non-white man to the moon under the Artemis program, as well as pave the way for sending the first humans.

Despite the fact that the United States has been actively cooperating with the ISS for more than 20 years, the administration of 45 President Donald Trump considered the possibility of stopping funding for this project..

In addition, due to the tests of Russia (which, by the way, also plans to leave the ISS project), in December 2021 NASA was forced to postpone the exit of its team into outer space due to debris near the station..
