In preparation for the safe and responsible deorbit of the International Space Station (ISS) in a controlled manner after the end of its operational life in 2030, NASA has selected SpaceX to develop and deliver the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle that will provide the capability to deorbit the space station and ensure avoidance of risk to populated areas. The single-award contract has a total potential value of $843 million, while the launch service for the Vehicle will be a future procurement.
