The International Space Station is a scientific space station operated jointly by five space agencies to conduct experiments in microgravity. Astronauts live aboard the ISS for 2-6 months at a time to study fields like biology, physics and astronomy. The goal is to gain insights that can help address problems on Earth like global warming by observing our planet from space.

1. A short introduction of the ISS

2. What ?
 The ISS is a scientific space station that is used
for investigation in low earth orbit.
 Several astronauts have already lived there for 2
to 6 months.

3. Why ?
 Scientists are since the beginning of
times very curious what happens with
the laws of nature if there’s
zerogravity.
 Except that, the ISS is also
used for observation of the
earth

4. Who ?
 The ISS is operated as a joint project between
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA)
Japan aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
Canadian Space Agency (CSA)
European Space Agency (ESA)

5. Who ?
 As of 30th october 2009
Commander: Frank De Winne
Engineer: Roman Romanenko
Robert Thurst
And three other participants

6. Experiments
 Experiments in fields of biology, human
biogoly, metereology, physics and
astronomy

7. Goal ?
 Thanks to the space science we have
already improved living on earth.
 We have to solve problems like global
warming and others by first
understanding and observating the
earth.
