ISS

The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space laboratory orbiting Earth, serving as a research hub where scientists from around the world study space environments, biology, physics, and technology. It’s akin to a floating research center, built collaboratively by multiple countries, that orbits about 250 miles above Earth. The ISS provides a unique microgravity environment, enabling experiments that are impossible on Earth. It also functions as a platform for testing new technologies, preparing for future missions to the Moon and Mars, and fostering international cooperation in space exploration.
