ISS (International Space Station) is the largest man-made object in the sky and is home to a crew of ten astronauts. They are carrying out experiment to investigate how life might be moved off the planet.
In February 2008, space shuttle Atlantis began a 13 days mission to deliver the latest component to the continually evolving ISS Kennedy Space Center travelling 2000 miles an hour. ISS does use its own thrusters to boost it back up to orbital velocity instead it uses thrusters on a docked craft such as the shuttle. Nine satellites circle the globe thousands of kilometers above the space station. They are locked in orbit and fixed points around the Earth's equator together the satellites give mission control almost uninterrupted contact with the space station as its orbit below. 350 kilometers above the Earth, space shuttle Altlantis approaches the ISS.
If you are wondering about how the astronauts survive with water and electricity, the recycling system on the space station manages to recover an incredible 94% of the wastewater produced by the astronauts. Inside the space station's life support system electricity is passed through tanks of recycled water. This charge of energy splits the water line into its chemical components hydrogen and oxygen. For the spacesuit, the cumbersome spacesuit makes event the simplest tasks such as turning a wrench extremely challenging.
Today the ISS, the time has come to bolt on the new modals of prefabricated science laboratory.
