International Space Station

• The international space station is the largest man made object in space. 

• There is no up or down in the International Space Station. The so called floor and ceiling are covered in instruments and control panels to save space. 

• Every month the ISS orbit decays by 2 KM, it must be topped up by rocket boosts regularly. 

• The European module is called Columbus and is used mostly to conduct experiments such as exposure to space tests using air locks and thethers.
