Space station
A space station , also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station , is a spacecraft capable of supporting crewmembers, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly as an artificial satellite in low Earth orbit ) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock. A space station is distinguished from other spacecraft used for human spaceflight by lack of major propulsion or landing systems. Instead, other vehicles transport people and cargo to and from the station. As of 2018 [update] , two space stations are in Earth orbit: the International Space Station (operational and permanently inhabited) and China's Tiangong-2 spacelab (operational but not permanently inhabited). Various other components of future space stations, such as Japan's space elevator and U.S. inflatable modules, are also being tested in orbit. Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series , Skylab , Mir , and Tiangong-1 . China, Russia, the U.S., as well as a few private companies are all planning other stations for the coming decades.

A space station is an artificial structure designed for humans to live in outer space . So far only low earth orbit (LEO) stations are implemented, also known as orbital stations . A space station is distinguished from other manned spacecraft by its lack of major propulsion or landing facilities — instead, other vehicles are used as transport to and from the station. Space stations are designed for medium-term living in orbit , for periods of weeks , months , or even years . The only space station currently in use is the International Space Station . Previous ones are the Almaz , Salyut series , Skylab and Mir . |
