Their are 15 countries that contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, and several European countries.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest space station currently in operation. It orbits Earth and serves as a research laboratory for astronauts from multiple countries to conduct experiments in microgravity.
