ISS (International Space Station) Program

The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft orbiting Earth, serving as a unique laboratory for scientific research. Launched in 1998, it is a collaborative effort involving multiple countries, including the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS allows astronauts to conduct experiments in microgravity, helping us understand various fields like biology, physics, and materials science. It also fosters international cooperation in space exploration. The ISS has been continuously inhabited since November 2000, providing valuable insights that benefit life on Earth and future space missions, including those to the Moon and Mars.
