The Future with Commercial Space Station

This event took place on Saturday, March 12, 2022 at 4:00 PM UTC.

Space stations have been in orbit for nearly 50 years. Over 250 individuals from 18 countries have visited and more than 3,000 experiments have been conducted on the International Space Station (ISS) since 1998. As the ISS nears its decommission, space opens for the private sector, creating new markets in low-Earth orbit and beyond. With the first commercial space station taking flight in 2024, commercial space stations will offer opportunities for private citizens to envision and live a life in space; for private industries to use space and the microgravity environment for new product development and discoveries; for nations around the world to inspire the next generation of explorers to dream big.
