This cutting-edge laboratory orbits the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour while it houses a team of international astronauts that conduct experiments in space. The ISS structure is modular, just like LEGO. The first piece was launched by Russia in 1998. Adding additional pieces to the structure is a unique engineering challenge as rockets must be launched in a window of minutes each day to reach the orbiting destination at the right time.
