Earth is not large enough or powerful enough to build and launch a space station at once as there is no rocket that can do it. To bypass this problem, the Space Station was to lift in the orbit, 400 km above the Earth’s surface, piece by piece, and then assembled. Almost 50 launches were needed for this deployment.
The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest cooperation venture of science and technology of the world and one of the partnerships of European nations (represented by ESA), the United States (NASA), Japan (JAXA), Canada (CSA), and Russia (Roscosmos).
