space station

A space station is a large, human-made structure located in low Earth orbit, where astronauts live and work for extended periods. It serves as a laboratory for scientific research in various fields, including biology, physics, and astronomy, taking advantage of the unique microgravity environment. One of the most well-known space stations is the International Space Station (ISS), which is a collaboration among multiple countries. Astronauts conduct experiments, test technologies for future space exploration, and learn more about living in space, all contributing to our understanding of life beyond Earth and the possibilities for long-duration space missions.
