Description
An Earth orbiting space station, crewed by peoples of many nations, has long been imaged even before space flight began. Today's partnership to build the international space station will register in history as the stepping stone into a new era of world space cooperation enabling humanity's future exploration of space. Pioneered by nations of Europe, Japan, Canada, and the United States, the International Space Station Program now welcomes partnership with Russia and the addition of their extensive experience in prolonged space flight. New concepts for building and operating the international space station have been created significantly broadening the roles, possibilities, and overall robustness of the space programs involved. As we enter the twenty-first century, the international space station provides a catalyst for change and growth in cooperative space exploration. Though not without its challenges, the benefits of this new partnership are far reaching. Some of these are described in this paper.
