1998
The International Space Station (ISS) was launched in 1998.
The first two modules of the International Space Station (ISS), Zarya and Unity, were launched in 1998. Zarya, the Functional Cargo Block, was launched on November 20, and Unity, the Node 1 module, followed shortly after on December 4. These modules marked the beginning of the ISS assembly in orbit.
The International Space Station (ISS) was not launched from a specific location. It was assembled in space using modules launched by various space agencies, including NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, JAXA, and CSA.
The ISS is almost like a puzzle. The first piece of it was launched into space in 1998, and then the second piece launched and connected to the first piece, and we're still launching and connection sections (as of 2009.) The station is expected to be completed in 2011.

Modules
The International Space Station (ISS) was a collaborative effort involving multiple space agencies including NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. It was assembled in space over several years using modules launched on different rockets by these space agencies.
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 first module of the International Space Station launched into orbit was Zarya, which was launched by Russia in November 1998. Zarya served as a fuel storage and propulsion module for the early stages of the ISS assembly.
