  • The International Space Station: Decision 2015
    The International Space Station: DECISION 2015 Executive Summary The United States should continue its participation in the International Space Station (ISS) program until 2020 or beyond. The nation should support a comprehensive research agenda throughout this time, fully using the unique resources available aboard this orbiting national laboratory. 1. Continued use of the ISS will help the United States maintain its international leadership position in space activities. 2. The United States will demonstrate that it is a reliable collaborator for future international projects by continuing to work with its international partners to capitalize upon the unique, paid-for capabilities of this research platform. 3. The United States can continue to drive innovation by supporting a full research agenda on the ISS with participation from government agencies as well as academic and commercial enterprises. 4. The ISS provides unique facilities and opportunities to carry out research that will better prepare the United States for future long-term space exploration. 5. Education initiatives associated with the ISS, which have already reached more than 31 million students in the United States, will continue to inspire students and enhance U.S. competitiveness by providing hands-on opportunities to learn about math and science. 6. Utilization of the ISS can help the United States nurture its high-tech workforce, with thousands of people across 37 states currently associated with the ISS program, also contributing to global competitiveness. 7. NASA can continue to encourage commercial space development by providing opportunities for commercial operators to undertake ISS resupply missions and other tasks and operations. 8. ISS completion is scheduled for 2010, after which the cost of continuing operations will be relatively low, while the potential benefits to be gained from onboard research and development will be higher than at any previous time.
