Its on-orbit assembly began in 1998.
Today, February 19, 2017. SpaceX launched supplies to 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.

Its on-orbit assembly began in 1998.
On 31 October 2000 (Halloween) Expedition 1 launched to ISS. They docked at ISS on 2 November 2000. Since then ISS has been continuously occupied.
The International Space Station was assembled in orbit; it is much too large to have been launched as a single unit. Most of the component modules of the ISS were carried into orbit by one of the space shuttles, which always launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Today, February 19, 2017. SpaceX launched supplies to the ISS.
The first ISS module launched is the Zarya module of the Russian section of the station. It was launched last 20 November 1998 on a Russian Proton launcher.
The International Space Station (ISS) And a point of note, it was not launched it was built up there.
The first segment of the ISS (Zarya) was launched on 20 November, 1998.
First of all, the international space station was not launched. The first part was launched but all the other parts of the iss were put on by astronauts in space shuttle missions the construction began in 1998. By 2000 people were able to live on the iss. As they lived they attached parts. The construction was complete in 2011. Soo yeah it was not really launched. I hope I helped:)

For example, if something is launched toward the ISS, scientists and astronomers have to take into account the altitude, the tangential speed, the speed of the object being launched, etc. Lots of math and calculus.
