As of June 2006, 90 science investigations had been conducted on the ISS over 64 months of continuous research. In addition, there have been nine research racks and more than 7,700 kg (17,000 lb) of research equipment and facilities launched to the station. Scientific findings, in fields ...
Prior to Crew Dragon, all astronauts used Soyuz spacecraft to reach the ISS. Crew Dragon carried four astronauts to the station, and the ISS was then able to accommodate a crew of seven. A Russian science module, Nauka, was added to the station in 2021. More than 200 astronauts from ...
Sounds like something unreal out of a science fiction novel, right? For the crews of the International Space Station (ISS), it's a reality. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proposed a permanently inhabited, government- and industry-supported space station be built by the United States in ...
