If you like the International Space Station like I do then you’ll find this pretty neat.
Ten years ago today the first module of the International Space Station arrived in orbit nearly 200 miles above Earth. Since that day it has been an global effort with the cooperation of Russian, European, Japanese and other space agencies in constructing the station.
The station has been home to astronauts from those and other countries, making this truly an international space station. With the European and Japanese laboratories, crews can conduct experiments both inside and outside the station.
Due to be completed in 2010, the station is expected to play a key role in research on the effects of long-term trips in space.
