Discovery (STS-96) made its first docking with the International Space Station (ISS) on 29 May, 1999. This was also the first shuttle to actually dock with the ISS. The pilot of this mission was Rick Husband, who would later lose his life on-board the shuttle Columbia (STS-107).

Start by dividing the word up into : "Iss-a-char"Then, :-pronounce 'Iss' as in "Miss' but without the M as in '[M]iss'- 'a' as in the 'u' in 'but'-'char' as if it is spelt 'car' but pronounce it with a gutteral 'c' as in 'kar'Last but not least, put the stress on the first syllable ie on 'Iss'
on expedition 25 (our current one) there are six astronauts on board the ISS.
The International Space Station, or ISS, has been assembled in orbit from parts built here on Earth. The first segments of the ISS were launched into space in 1998, with other parts being added by several Space Shuttle missions. The ISS is not yet complete, and more parts are still under construction.
No one truly "owns" the ISS, but 6 different space agencies work on the ISS
The ISS is as big as a football field
