what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.
False.
Actually, the International Space Station (ISS) is not the first space station to orbit Earth. Several others, such as the Soviet Union's Mir space station and the United States' Skylab, preceded it. The ISS is, however, the largest and most advanced space station ever built, representing an international collaboration among several countries.
The first part of the International Space Station (Zarya) has been in orbit since November 1998. The station has been progressively added to since then.
NO getting the equipment into space would cost much more than just launching them from earth. First you have to get it up to the space station then you have launch it.....what kinda question is this?
Salyut program of the U.S.S.R was the first space station. Skylab was the United States first space station. Then there was MIR from U.S.S.R. Now there is the international Space Station.
International Space Station was created in 1998.
No. There were others before it, like Skylab and Mir.
The first US space station was named Skylab. It was launched by NASA in 1973 and remained in orbit until 1979.

The first achievement of Skylab was launching America's first space station into Earth's orbit on May 14, 1973. It was NASA's first attempt at long-duration human spaceflight and paved the way for future space stations like the International Space Station.
