The ISS (International Space Station) is a joint project. Its contributors are the space agencies of: * United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) * Canadian Space Agency (CSA) * Japan Aeorspace Exploration Agency (JAXA) * Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA) * And ten other European nations that form the European Space Agency (ESA) The Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the Brazillian Space Agency (AEB) are included in the project through contracts with NASA.
No single person designs a space station, or any large and complex machine nowadays. A NASA space station would be designed by a team commissioned by NASA. The ISS is an international undertaking.
A space station is a satellite designed to allow humans to live in outer space.
a space station is generally bigger and remains in one spot. A space ship is designed to carry people and/or objects into space.
The International Space Station is designed so that six people can live there for an extended period of time. The Space Station has held as many as 10 people for shorter time periods.
The International Space Station was assembled in space and is designed to stay there. It is meant as a place of research and as a place for astronauts to stay in space. A space shuttle is a vehicle that can lauch from Earth into space and then return, something a space station cannot do. Space shuttles transport people and equipment to and from space.
A space station is an artificial structure designed for humans to live in outer space.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_station
The International Space Station (ISS) will be a permanent laboratory designed for long-term research projects.
The Russian space station called "Mir" that was launched in 1986.
Dextre, the Canadian robotic system on the International Space Station, was built in 2008. It is designed to perform various tasks, including maintenance and repairs outside the space station.
A space station (or orbital station) is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock.
A space shuttle is a reusable launch and orbital spacecraft. It was designed by NASA for human space flight. The space shuttle takes humans into space. It also can be used to deploy satellites, probes, additions to the space station, and parts used to work on the space station. The space shuttle has also been used to conduct experiments in space.
the iss is the biggest space station and only space station
