Description
The first elements of the International Space Station (ISS) have been launched, have been docked together, and are on orbit. The Station is currently being operated jointly by NASA and Russian space organizations. More Shuttle flights to ISS, with additional crew visits on board the Station, will occur this year. The next module, the Russian Service Module, is due to join the orbital complex by this the year. This will initiate a period of rapid growth, with new modules and equipment continually added for the next five to six years, through assembly complete.
