NASA intends to formally decommission the International Space Station by 2030. An era in space exploration will come to an end when the ISS is decommissioned, deorbited, and destroyed after 20 years of circling the planet.

n June of last year to assist with the safe destruction of the ISS. However, how precisely will it be possible to pull down the biggest object ever built in orbit?
