Isaac Newton is said to have once said that what goes up must come down. This applies to them as well International Space Station ISS. It is expected to orbit the Earth until 2030.
After that she was crushed to be inside The earth’s atmosphere was burnt to a great extent. Its purpose is to provide the targeted “nudge” it needs US Deorbit Vehicle (USDV) To provide, that SpaceX Created and constructed.

A challenge is motivation enough
with a mass of approx 450 tons However, getting the ISS to crash precisely where it needs to crash requires more than a thruster. The deeper it penetrates into the Earth’s atmosphere, the higher it is Wind resistance and forces exerting pressure on the space station.
“The challenge is that the final burn must be strong enough to fly the entire space station,” says the SpaceX manager. Sarah Walker Van TechCrunch Quoted.

On the X, SpaceX provides the first details on how to achieve the required thrust. Basically, you’re going to get a souped-up Dragon Spaceship. with 6 times more fuel and 4 times more power Today’s Dragon spacecraft can bring down the ISS in a controlled manner.
The fuselage is long enough to accommodate all the fuel. Deorbit vehicle should be approx becomes twice as long, similar to a normal Dragon capsule, measures about 8 meters. In total 46 Drago Engines Run the shuttle – Dragon only has one at the moment 16 machines.
18 months in space
The USDV should bring down the ISS within a week with target thrusters. However, the orbiter is already being launched 18 fun Before. It will be parked in the front opening of the ISS, where it will remain as the ISS moves slowly towards Earth. The ISS crew will 6 Fun Destroy the space station before it crashes – that’s how long it takes to ensure the station adheres to its planned trajectory.
Once the ISS reaches altitude Reached 220 km (It is currently at an altitude of about 400 km) The main work of the USDV begins. For 4 days she will perform a series of ignitions until she gets her Final re-entry ignition carries out

Although the football field-sized ISS is expected to burn up largely in Earth’s atmosphere, there may be some debris on Earth’s surface. These range from microwaves to small cars. This is especially important if the ISS crashes on an uninhabited part of the planet.
It is not yet clear where the accident took place. Perhaps a remote part of the ocean, for example South Pacific. It’s not for nothing that an area called that is there Spaceship grave is known.
Russian space transporter is very weak
At first it was planned Progress space shuttle Russian Space Agency Roscosmos must have caused the crash of the ISS. However, it soon became clear that the space shuttle was too fragile for the ISS.
Together with other partners of the ISS – including the European Space Agency ESAJapanese Jaxa And the Canadian one CSA – So they decided to buy an orbital vehicle from a private person.
