ISS  

Definition

  • The International Space Station is the largest and most complex international scientific project in history. The station represents a move of unprecedented scale off the home planet. Led by the United States, the International Space Station draws upon the scientific and technological resources of 16 nations: Canada, Japan, Russia, 11 nations of the European Space Agency and Brazil. The goals of the International Space Station are: 1. Find solutions to crucial problems in medicine, ecology and other areas of science. 2. Lay the foundation for developing space-based commerce and enterprise. 3. Create greater worldwide demand for space-related education at all levels by cultivating the excitement, wonder and discovery that the ISS symbolizes. 4. Foster world peace through high-profile, long-term international cooperation in space.
