 The modular International Space Station |
A space station (or orbital station) is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew which is designed to remain in space (most commonly in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time, and to which other spacecraft can dock. A space station is distinguished from other spacecraft used for human spaceflight by lack of major propulsion or landing systems. Instead other vehicles transport people and cargo to and from the station. two space stations are in orbit; the International Space Station, and China's Tiangong 1, (which successfully launched on September 29, 2011, after failing in its prior August launch attempt) Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab and most recently Mir.
