  • SpaceX plans to use a Dragon capsule with a larger trunk, containing 46 engines and 35,000 pounds of fuel, to guide the aging space station during its final descent.
  • The deorbit spacecraft will be launched 1 1/2 years before the station's planned demise due to logistical issues and concerns about space junk.
