4 websites to help see where the ISS station is in the sky
The ISS started under US President Ronald Regan as a space program called "Freedom". Later, the program became a multinational project with a joint cooperation between the US, Russia, Japan and the European Space Agency (ESA).
On November 20, 1998, the Russians launched a single module named "Zarya" into space, starting the ISS. A few weeks later, an American module called "Unity" was also launched. By 2011, the construction of the ISS station was officially completed in 2011.
The ISS space station currently weighs about 453 tons, has the interior volume of a large house with 5 bedrooms and can accommodate 6 crew members. The station's black streak covers the Earth with a football field.
