The International Space Station ( ISS ) ( Inglés , International Space Station, or ISS ) , Also known as the International Space Station, is a research center in Earth orbit , the administration , management and development is in charge of international cooperation. The project opera en as a permanently manned space station , where astronauts rotate teams and Participating Researchers from the five space agencies : NASA, the Russian Federal Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the Canadian Space Agency and Space Agency ( ESA). It is Considered one of the greatest achievements of engineering .
The Brazilian Space Agency Participates through a separate Contract with NASA . The Italian Space Agency similarly has separate contracts for various activities not done in the framework of ESA 's work on the ISS (where fully Participates Also Italy ) .
In many ways the ISS dealer to a fusion of Previously planned space stations: the Russian Mir -2 , the U.S. space station Freedom , the planned European Columbus module and the JEM (Japanese Experiment Module) . The first plans to assemble a large International station back to the 1980s . The station was planned at the time Also under the name Alpha .
The ISS is under construction since 1998 and this is the largest man-made object in Earth orbit . Complete a lap around every 91 minutes is acerca 400 km altitude ( June 2012 data) , although its actual height may vary by several kilometers due to atmospheric drag and Repeated propulsion . Skew is 51.6 ° .
The station has reached approximate dimensions of 110 m × 100 m × 30 m, with a large living area. According To plans, Should be in operation At least until 2020 .
With ISS , no human permanent Presence in space , Because there has always been At least two people on board the ISS since the first permanent crew it Entered on November 2, 2000 . The station Remains today mainly by Russian shuttle Soyuz and Progress spacecraft , and by the Space Shuttlenorteamericanos Previously , que operated until 2011 , since then the space shuttle program was Canceled U.S. Generally Because Their exorbitant costs did not correspond correspondence to cut U.S. government spending .
In its early days , the station had a capacity for a crew of three astronauts , but since the arrival of Expedition 20 , was ready to support a crew of six astronauts . Before the arrival of the German astronaut Thomas Reiter , ESA, who joins the Expedition 13 crew in July 2006 , astronauts permanent all belonged to the Russian space programs , U.S. or Canadian . Meanwhile , the ISS has been visited by 205 people from sixteen country clubs and have Also been the fate of the first space tourists.
