Introduction

The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite in Low Earth Orbit. It was launched by Russia in 1998 and is run by the United States, Russia and other countries. The ISS follows orbits around the Earth every 92 minutes, at an altitude of between 400 km (250 miles) and 1,125 km (700 miles).

International Space Station

The International Space Station is a laboratory, research facility and observatory. It was launched in 1998 as a joint project between Russia and the United States.

The ISS has been used to test new technologies such as genetic engineering and space suits, as well as processes such as growing plants in orbit. It has also hosted experiments aimed at better understanding people’s health while they are in space (for example by studying their blood), how they respond to weightlessness (by measuring bone loss), observing the Earth from above (“geo-factors”), testing methods for recycling waste materials on board spacecrafts etc..

The ISS acts as a platform for space observation: scientists can study stars Safely Without Moving At All !!!

The International Space Station is the largest room ever created on Earth

The International Space Station is the largest room ever created on Earth. It has been in orbit since 1998 and was built by astronauts from 15 countries. It’s made up of pressurized modules, which are joined together by trusses that hold solar arrays and other equipment.

The ISS holds over 400 people at a time, but you can’t see it with your naked eye or even with binoculars because it’s so far away from us! To help you understand how big this thing really is, here are some comparisons:

  • The size of an average house (2 stories) would fit inside one module alone!
  • If you stacked all 5 football fields on top of each other they’d still have room to spare!

It also has more power than any other man-made object in space—approximately 50 megawatts—and its brightness rivals Venus’ surface temperature when viewed from Earth during daylight hours (although there’s no competition between them).

satellite Earth observation

Satellite Earth observation is a technology that allows us to monitor the earth and its environment. Satellites help us monitor weather, climate change, and other aspects of our planet. They also help scientists study our world by providing images of the planet in different areas of interest at any given time.

Satellites can be used for many purposes:

  • Monitoring weather conditions on Earth’s surface (in particular tornadoes)
  • Studying ocean currents and marine biology
  • Monitoring land use changes over time

test new technology in space

Space is a great place to test new technology. It’s a good way to test it before applying it on Earth, and you can’t do that on Earth because everything would be under scrutiny. Space is also controlled environment, meaning there are no concerns about what’s going on with the planet or its inhabitants. A lot of times when you’re developing something new, whether it be in space or out here on Earth—and especially if it’s something that could cause harm—you want definite results before implementing them into society at large.

So what we’ve been doing at NASA has been using this spaceflight platform as an opportunity for us to try out new technologies and see how they work in an isolated context where there aren’t any distractions from other systems or organizations trying to get involved (like some countries might want).

calibrate systems for better weather prediction

  • The ISS is used to calibrate systems for better weather prediction.
  • The ISS is used to test new technology in space, including sensors and cameras that are used on Earth.
  • The ISS has played an important role in measuring solar storms, which can disrupt radio communications, GPS signals and power grids across the globe.
  • In addition to its scientific functions, astronauts aboard the International Space Station have also been able to conduct experiments related to human health during long-duration missions like those scheduled for launch in 2020 or 2021.

predict solar storms

  • Solar storms can cause damage to satellites.
  • Solar storms can also disrupt power grids and communications systems, which could lead to shortages of electricity and cell phone service.
  • In addition, astronauts who are exposed to solar radiation may be at risk for skin cancer or other health issues from the exposure. Satellite technology has been developed that allows us to predict where these solar storms will occur so we can prepare our astronauts accordingly.*

It is made up of a series of laboratories, modules and a large solar power generating system

The International Space Station is the largest room ever created on Earth. It’s made up of a series of laboratories, modules and a large solar power generating system. The ISS is the result of international cooperation between 15 countries: Canada, Denmark (which built Columbia), France, Germany, Japan (which built Kibo), Russia (which built Zarya), Spain (which built Columbus) and the United States.

It has been permanently staffed since November 2000 when Commander Jean-Loup Chrétien became its first resident commander/scientist.
