Originally the ISS was planned to be a 15-year mission. [72] Therefore, an end of mission had been worked on, [73] but was several times postponed due to the success and support for the operation of the station. [74] As a result, the oldest modules of the ISS have been in orbit for more than 20 years, with their reliability having decreased. [73]
Landing is expected on 2 March 2025. [3] The Hakuto-R Mission 2 will carry the RESILIENCE lunar lander and the TENACIOUS micro rover. [4] Landing is expected in Mare Frigoris around May–June 2025. [5] Blue Origin plans to launch their MK1 Lunar Lander as a "pathfinder" mission in 2025. [6]

The process of assembling the International Space Station (ISS) has been under way since the 1990s. Zarya , the first ISS module, was launched by a Proton rocket on 20 November 1998. The STS-88 Space Shuttle mission followed two weeks after Zarya was launched, bringing Unity , the first of three node modules, and connecting it to Zarya .
The first module of the ISS was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome Site 81 as the uncrewed spacecraft Zarya in 1998 and flew uncrewed for about two years before the first crew arrived. The Progress spacecraft is the most frequent cargo ship sent from Baikonur to the station, bringing supplies such as food, fuel, gas, experiments, and parts.
Soyuz MS-27 is a planned Russian crewed Soyuz spaceflight to launch from Site 31/6 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in April 2025 to the International Space Station. The mission will transport three crew members, Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky , along with NASA astronaut Jonny Kim .
Major delays due to difficulties in the development and test of the active hydrogen maser and the time transfer microwave system have extended the launch to 2025. [7] The ACES module will be externally mounted to the ESA's Columbus Laboratory [8] [9] with an 18-30 month expected operations phase. [10]
