As the International Space Station nears its retirement date, NASA and its partners are continuing to work on a future replacement. Back in 2020, the agency picked Axiom Space, a company based in Houston to build commercial space station modules and attach them to the ISS. In the last few years, they have been busy and are making fast progress on the first segment.

Just recently we got more information on the exact progress, upcoming tests, and the expected future launch date. The plan is to consistently manufacture and launch these next-generation modules in space, attach them to this ISS one by one, and then disconnect before the ISS retires, and when the new station is fully independent. Here I will go more in-depth into the new company update, Axiom’s plan, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
