International Space Station (ISS) will be guided to descend to Earth and will crash into the ocean at the end of its life cycle, after 2020, announced on Wednesday the Russian Space Agency (Roskosmos).

"We have to sink ISS at the end of its life cycle," said Vitaly Davydov, deputy director of Roskosmos, in an interview published on the Agency website.

"We agreed with our partners on that station will be used until around 2020. We will not be able to leave orbit (after this date, no) station is a very difficult and complex, which may to produce more waste of space, "said Davydov.

ISS will have the same destiny as the Mir space station, abandoned by Russia in 2001 because of her age, after which since 1986 has been a true symbol of success enjoyed by the Soviet space.

The Russians were allied with Western states and then to build the International Space Station since 1998, the largest structure ever assembled in space. These installations (modules, solar panels) form a structure that has a length of 108 meters and a width of 88 meters.

ISS space is a project worth 100 billion dollars, mainly financed by the United States and the achievement of which involved 16 countries. The station is permanently occupied since November 2000 joint teams, made up mainly of Russian and American astronauts, who are replaced by new crew of astronauts every six months.

ISS is in orbit at an altitude of 350 kilometers, making one complete revolution around the Earth every 90 minutes surfing the average speed of 28,000 km / hour. Weighing over 408 tons, ISS offers a living space equivalent of a Boeing 747.
