Reply to comment by PhoenixReborn in Industry sees missed opportunity in deorbiting ISS by ye_olde_astronaut
Is the ISS even designed to do that? How much would it cost just to get it into a different orbit and will the ISS even last long enough for there to be any benefit?

Too much, its thrusters arent designed for that, just to avoid collissions with other satellites, you'd need to essentially strap a rocket onto it.
