Its first component was launched into orbit in 1998, with the first long-term residents arriving in November 2000. It has been inhabited continuously since that date. The last pressurised module was fitted in 2011, and an experimental inflatable space habitat was added in 2016. The station is expected to operate until 2030. Development and assembly of the station continues, with several new elements scheduled for launch in 2019. The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised habitation modules, structural trusses, solar arrays, radiators, docking ports, experiment bays and robotic arms. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets, and American Space Shuttles.", "orbit": "Low Earth Orbit", "owners": [ { "id": 16, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/agencies/16/?format=api", "name": "Canadian Space Agency", "abbrev": "CSA" }, { "id": 27, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/agencies/27/?format=api", "name": "European Space Agency", "abbrev": "ESA" }, { "id": 37, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/agencies/37/?format=api", "name": "Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency", "abbrev": "JAXA" }, { "id": 44, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/agencies/44/?format=api", "name": "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", "abbrev": "NASA" }, { "id": 63, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/agencies/63/?format=api", "name": "Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS)", "abbrev": "RFSA" } ], "active_expeditions": [ { "id": 162, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/expedition/162/?format=api", "name": "Expedition 73", "start": "2025-04-19T21:57:33Z", "end": null } ], "image_url": "https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/international2520space2520station_image_20190220215716.jpeg" }, { "id": 18, "url": "https://lldev.thespacedevs.com/2.2.0/spacestation/18/?format=api", "name": "Tiangong space station", "status": { "id": 1, "name": "Active" }, "type": { "id": 2, "name": "Government" }, "founded": "2021-04-29", "deorbited": null, "description": "The Tiangong space station is a space station placed in Low Earth orbit between 340 and 450 km above the surface.

It had 2,000 kg of scientific equipment alongside two sets of three solar panels each and was equipped with the Delta Navigation System which was a new autonomous navigation system that calculates orbital elements without assistance from ground. It was powered by KTDU-66 thrusters.
