The area, known as Point Nemo, has been the crash site for hundreds of pieces of space debris over the years.
Since launching in 2000, the ISS has orbited 227 nautical miles above Earth.
It’s been a temporary home to more than 200 astronauts from 19 countries.
Without the ISS, NASA will rely on the private sector to help continue scientific research in space.
