•The first pro=
posal
for a manned station occurred in 1869, when an American novelist told the
story of how a "Brick Moon" came to orbit Earth to =
help
ships navigate at sea.
•The Soviet Un=
ion
launched the world's first space station, Salyut 1, in 1971 - a decade aft=
er launching the=
first
human into space.
•
•
•The United St=
ates
sent its first space station, the larger Skylab, into orbit in 1973 and it
hosted three crews before it was abandoned in 1974.

•
•In 1998, the =
first
two modules of the International Space Station were launched and joined together in o=
rbit.
Other modules soon followed and the first crew arrived in 2000.

residence and laboratory for science and research,
•Maintain and support a human cre=

this facility.
•Purposes of the ISS are to expand
our experience in living and working in space, encourage and enable commer=
cial
development of space, and provide the capability for humans to perform unique long
duration space-based research in cell and developmental biology, plant
biology, human physiology, fluid physics, combustion science,
materials science and fundamental physics.
