About

The space station, also known as the International Space Station (Via, Nasa), is the result of several nations coming together. It is mostly a home for Astronauts and Cosmonauts (Russian astronauts) while in space. In addition to this, the station is a research center and does various STEM type research.

The station holds living quarters along with science labs for work.

How it came to be

The space station was developed with the work of several countries. This includes NASA (USA), Roscosmos (Russia), CSA (Canada), JAXA (Japan), and ESA (Europe).

The countries decided to come together to work for the exploration of space and STEM in space.

The previous station was called “sky lab” and it fell out of the sky in the 70s.

Funny side story-The lab ended up crashing into Western Australia (where my dad is from) and his school had a piece of it that they displayed.
