The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest and most complicated spacecrat ever

built. It is allowing NASA to conduct scientic research to improve lie on Earth and to

prepare or longduration space fights to the moon and other destinations.

NASAs Constellation Program is currently building the nextgeneration vehicle that will be launched atop the Ares I rocket. The Orion will also be used to send astronauts to

visit the International Space Station (ISS). The Orion crew exploration vehicle will erry the moon. In addition to Orion and Ares I, Constellation is also developing a heavy cargo

Expedition 1 began the permanent habitation o the International Space Station (ISS) on

Nov. 2, 2000. Since then, crews have been working, eating, sleeping, exercising and per-

orming other unctions o everyday lie on the orbital outpost. The Expedition crews living

on the station are helping NASA develop techniques or uture explorers to better over-

come the challenges o space fight lie. To help make lie on the ISS more like lie on Earth,

crews are also learning how to celebrate holidays, such as Thanksgiving, in space.

More than 80 fights are scheduled during construction o the International Space Station. Progress (Russia), HII Transer Vehicle (Japan), and Automated Transer Vehicle (Europe).

These missions deliver equipment, modules, supplies and crew members to the station. The space shuttle, Soyuz and Progress spacecrat are eatured above.

NASA research not only helps the United States reach its space exploration goals, it

involves the creation o spinos that improve lie on Earth or experiments that have

tremendous potential or Earth application. These spinos stem rom technologies created

to support the International Space Station (ISS). Areas o everyday lie that have benetted

rom ISS spinos include water purication, manuacturing, sports, construction, aviation

saety, robotics, vision enhancement, exercise and medicine.
