International Space Station
The International Space Station ( ISS ) is a space station , or a habitable artificial satellite , in low Earth orbit . Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, the last pressurised module was fitted in 2011, and the station is expected to operate until 2028. Development and assembly of the station continues, with components scheduled for launch in 2018 and 2019. The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. [8] [9] The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays , and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets, and American Space Shuttles . [10]

The International Space Station ( ISS ) is a space station , or a habitable artificial satellite , in low Earth orbit . It is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998. [7] Now the largest artificial body in orbit, it can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. [8] The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components. ISS components have been launched by American Space Shuttles as well as Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets. [9] In 1984, the ESA was invited to participate in Space Station Freedom . [10] After the USSR dissolved, the United States and Russia merged Mir-2 and Freedom together in 1993. [9] |

The International Space Station ( ISS ) is a space station , or a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit . The ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, it follows the Soviet and later Russian Salyut , Almaz , and Mir stations, and Skylab from the US. The ISS is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998. [7] Now the largest artificial body in orbit, it can often be seen at the appropriate time with the naked eye from Earth. [8] The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components. ISS components have been launched by American Space Shuttles as well as Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets. [9] Budget constraints led to the merger of three space station projects with the Japanese Kibō module and Canadian robotics . In 1993 the partially built components for a Soviet/Russian space station Mir-2 , the proposed American Freedom , and the proposed European Columbus merged into a single multinational programme. [9] The ISS is arguably the most expensive single item ever constructed. [10] |

The International Space Station ( ISS ) is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit . It follows the Salyut , Almaz , Skylab and Mir as the ninth space station to be inhabited. The ISS is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998. It has since grown to become the largest and most expensive space station ever built. [7] Like many artificial satellites, the station can be seen from Earth with the naked eye . [8] [9] Other modular space station projects include MIR , OPSEK and Tiangong 3 . The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other elements. ISS components have been launched by American Space Shuttles as well as Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets. [10] Budget constraints led to the merger of three space station projects with the Japanese Kibō module and Canadian robotics. In 1993 the Soviet/Russian Mir-2 , the American Freedom , and the European Columbus , merged into a single multi-national programme. [10] Some elements of the ISS are expected to be separated to form the planned Russian OPSEK facility before the remainder is deorbited. [11] |

The International Space Station ( ISS ) is an internationally developed research facility that is being assembled in low Earth orbit . On-orbit construction of the station began in 1998 and is scheduled for completion by late 2011. The station is expected to remain in operation until at least 2015, and likely 2020. [6] [7] With a greater cross-sectional area than that of any previous space station , the ISS can be seen from Earth with the naked eye , [8] and is by far the largest artificial satellite that has ever orbited Earth. [9] The ISS serves as a research laboratory that has a microgravity environment in which crews conduct experiments in biology , chemistry , medicine , physiology and physics , as well as astronomical and meteorological observations. [10] [11] [12] The station provides a unique environment for the testing of the spacecraft systems that will be required for missions to the Moon and Mars . [13] The ISS is operated by Expedition crews of six astronauts and cosmonauts , with the station programme maintaining an uninterrupted human presence in space since the launch of Expedition 1 on 31 October 2000, a total of Template:Ageand . The programme thus holds the current record for the longest uninterrupted human presence in space, surpassing the previous record of 3,644 days, set aboard Mir . [14] As of 25 November 2010 [update] , the crew of Expedition 26 is aboard. [15] |

The International Space Station ( ISS ) is an internationally developed research facility currently being assembled in Low Earth Orbit . On-orbit construction of the station began in 1998 and is scheduled for completion by 2011, with operations continuing until at least 2015. [7] The station can be seen from the Earth with the naked eye, [8] and, as of 2009 [update] is the largest artificial satellite in Earth orbit, with a mass larger than that of any previous space station . [9] The ISS serves as a long-term research laboratory in space, and is the site of daily experiments in fields including biology , human biology , physics , astronomy and meteorology , conducted in its microgravity environment. [10] [11] [12] The station provides a safe testing location for the efficient, reliable spacecraft systems that will be required for long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars. [13] The ISS and its experiments are operated by long-duration Expedition crews, with continuous staffing since the first resident crew, Expedition 1 , arrived on 2 November 2000. This has provided an uninterrupted human presence in space for the past User:Colds7ream/Ageand . [14] As of 1 December 2009 [update] , the crew of Expedition 22 is aboard. [15] |

Continuing on from the United States ' Skylab and Russia 's Mir , the International Space Station ( ISS ) represents a permanent human presence in space. The space station is located in orbit around the Earth at an altitude of approximately 386 km , a type of orbit usually termed low Earth orbit . (The actual height varies over time by several kilometres due to atmospheric drag and reboosts.) It orbits Earth at a period of about 92 minutes; on December 1 , 2003 it had completed over 28,700 orbits since launch. |
