In the next chapter of Space Station Stories, we explore one of the space station’s greatest accomplishments: international cooperation. An international partnership of space agencies from the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada have worked together for 15 years on the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
The International Space Station Program brings together international flight crews, multiple launch vehicles, globally distributed launch, operations, training, engineering, and development facilities; communications networks, and the international scientific research community. The lessons learned today will apply to the exploration missions of tomorrow, as multiple nations will be needed to overcome the challenges of deep space human exploration as humanity readies itself for the journey to Mars.
Space Station Stories takes you inside the technological marvel that is the International Space Station. Humanity’s home in low Earth orbit since 1998, the station continues to be a platform for new discoveries, preparing us for the journeys of tomorrow while benefiting the world of today.
