The International Space
Station (ISS) is the
largest modular space
station currently in low Earth
orbit. It is a multinational collaborative project involving
five participating space agencies: NASA (United
States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe),
and CSA (Canada).[7][8] The
ownership and use of the space station is established by
intergovernmental treaties and agreements.[9] The
station serves as a microgravity and space
environment research laboratory in which scientific
research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other
fields.[10][11][12] The
ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment
required for possible future long-duration missions to the Moon and
Mars.
