The International Space Station (ISS) will provide the means for a variety of research in space. For over 30 years, Kennedy Space Center (KSC) has processed payloads for numerous NASA Programs and is adapting to the needs of the ISS Program. This paper provides an overview of ISS research capability and KSC's role in processing payloads for the International Space Station. Best practices and lessons learned from Station’s predecessor, the Spacelab Program, have been adopted for the processing of ISS payloads at the launch/landing site, and some of these are highlighted in this paper.
