The International Space Station by Ivan Berryman. [Original Painting]

Following the launch of the first component of the International Space Station (ISS) in 1998, this microgravity and space environment research laboratory has continued to grow, the whole being made up of a number of pressurised modules, solar arrays and a variety of other components. Aside from accommodation, there are laboratories for experiments in biology, physics, meteorology, the study of deep space and research related to future missions to the Moon and Mars. The ISS is easily the largest man-made object orbiting the Earth, which it does 15.54 times per day at an altitude that can vary between 330 and 435 km and can be clearly seen from Earth with the naked eye.
