Exploring the International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a collaborative effort by multiple countries, serving as a habitable satellite in Earth's low orbit. It was constructed by launching and assembling modular segments in space. The ISS functions as a space observatory, laboratory, and training ground for astronauts, while also serving commercial and educational purposes. It is powered by solar arrays and equipped with robotic arms and docking ports. The ISS is a joint project involving NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA, and has been operational since 2000.
