International Space Station (ISS) 

• It is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in Low Earth Orbit (approximately 250 miles above Earth).
• The first piece of the International Space Station was launched in 1998, since then it is evolving.
• NASA and its partners around the world finished the space station in 2011.
• The ISS is one of the most ambitious international collaborations in human history.
• Nations involved: The ISS programme is a joint project between five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada).
• The ownership and use of the space station are established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.
• The station is divided into two sections, the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the United States Orbital Segment (USOS), which is shared by many nations.
• ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations as well as Skylab from the US.
