Modular space station in low Earth orbit
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station in low Earth orbit (LEO). It is the product of the International Space Station program and is operated by five partner space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada). It is the first space station built, maintained and crewed through international cooperation and the largest human spacecraft ever constructed. It is an orbital research station, where scientific experiments in microgravity are conducted and the space environment is studied.
More on Wikipedia ↗The two missions, falling under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, will switch roles onboard the ISS before Crew-12 will fly back to Earth.
NASAs SpaceX Crew-13 mission successfully reached the ISS with four astronauts, setting a record journey from Florida, following the launch by a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.
The crew lifted off at 11:10 a.m. and reached the space station just after 7 p.m. NASA called it the fastest launch-to-docking of a U.S. spacecraft in the history of the ISS.
