The ISS (International Space Station) is a big international project where different nations as there are USA, Russia, Japan, Brasil, Canada and Europe with the ESA  are involved.

The ISS contents a lot of diiferent separate items and started with the construction in 1998.

The first Expedition to ISS was the Expedition 1 with Sheperd (USA), Gidsenko (Russia) and Krikalow (Russia). They launched on 31 of october 2000 with Sojus TM-31 and came back to Earth on 18 of march 2001 with the Shuttle Discovery STS-102.

The ISS is until now in construction and should be in function at least until the year 2022.

Today the Sojus spaceships with their rockets are the only manned vehicles which can reach the ISS after closing the Space Shuttle program by the USA.

The construction of the ISS started with the first module Zarya with a launch of a russian Proton rocket on 20.11.1998.

To the ISS today belongs today already more than 30 Moduls which have been launched by different rockets from different nations.

At the end of construction the ISS will have a total weight of 500 tons, will have a more than 80 m long strucktur in the center  and the solarpannels will go from one  to the other end with more than 107 m.

Today the ISS will serve for 6 crewmenbers for several months at the same time.
