International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is the result of cooperation between the European ESA, American NASA, Japanese JAXA, Canadian Space Agency and Russian ROSCOSMOS. An amazing station that's travelling in orbit at 27000km/hr around 350km above the Earth.

You can find out more about the station and see when it passes your town:
