The manufacturing of ISS took a modular approach where different countries and space organisation taking the lead and control in design and manufacturing of each modules, which were ~40 in count.
We will cover the history and construction of ISS.The project began as Space Station Freedom, a US only effort, but was long delayed by funding and technical problems.
There are only two bathrooms on ISS. The urine of both the crew members and laboratory animals is filtered back into the station’s drinking water supply.
We will see some of the cool and important experiments that have been carried out at ISS (and couldn’t have been possible elsewhere).
