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.
Where was the international space station constructed?
The majority of the components of the International Space Station were constructed in the United States, but there are pieces from Canada, Russia and Japan. The ISS itself was assembled in orbit, and new modules have been added every couple of years.
How many space stations are there?
As of now, there are multiple space stations in orbit around Earth. The International Space Station (ISS) is the most well-known and has been continuously occupied since November 2000. Other countries, such as China and Russia, also have their own space stations in operation.
Is the International Space Station the only Space Station shared by every country?
Currently right now the International Space Station is the only space station in orbit. It has however been the only space station with such international participation that it can be really be considered international. Countries, including the US, have sent astronauts to Russia's former space station Mir. Just because the International Space Station is international, doesn't necessarily mean that every country uses it. Their are 15 countries that contribute to the ISS program including the US, Russia, Canada, Japan, and several European countries.
Where have space shuttles been?
Space shuttles have been to low Earth orbit, carrying astronauts and satellites for missions such as servicing the Hubble Space Telescope and building the International Space Station. They have also traveled to higher altitudes to deploy scientific instruments and conduct experiments.

What is the Internatinal Space Station?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station currently being constructed in orbit around Earth. Construction began in 1998 and is expected to be completed in 2011. It is being built and occupied by many nations at one time, hence the name International Space Station.
How many people have been in the International Space Station?
Since the International Space Station (ISS) was launched in 1998, over 240 individuals from 19 different countries have visited the space station. This includes astronauts, cosmonauts, and space tourists who have traveled to the ISS for various missions and expeditions.

The International Space Station (ISS) is still under construction. The first section was sent up into orbit in 1998, and sections are still being sent up. The station is expected to be completed in 2011.
Where was the iss launchened?
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.
