class=”texto”> The International Space Station (ESA) , which has already become the largest scientific collaboration in history birthday is today. The November 20, 1998 Russian Proton launcher off from the space center in Kazakhstan set to orbit Zarya , which would become the first station component . The second module of the complex Unity started three weeks after this milestone and was coupled to Zarya on December 6.
had to wait two years for the first crew landed in Space Station . With the name of Expedition 1 , three people remained on board for 136 days between November 2000 and March 2001. Thereafter, the orbiting complex has been busy getting uninterrupted become the only permanent laboratory in microgravity.
From its inception, the International Space Station has not stopped growing. In 2007 came the Harmony module installation (built in Italy) and a year later added Columbus laboratories and Kibo .
These advances have enabled us to carry out more than 110 experiments directed by ESA in which more than five hundred scientists have turned their knowledge and experience with the sole purpose of advancing important areas such as fluid dynamics, materials science, radiation physics, the Sun, the human body, biology and astrobiology.

, 211 people have visited and worked on the Space Station more than 350 missions. European Astronauts from Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden met in orbit with Russian, American, Canadian, Japanese to expand the frontiers of human exploration.
