"I feel like a modern-day explorer; the last frontier is space"
The International Space Station (ISS) is an artificial satellite in a low Earth orbit, roughly 400 km above the Earth's surface. It was launched in 1998 from the Kennedy Space Center at NASA. The ISS is a collaboration between space agencies around the world, and is divided into two sections: the Russian Orbital Segment and the United States Orbital Segment.
