Kibo: Japanese lab, it is the biggest module in the ISS.Harmony also hosts air generation systems, electricity, water recycling and other essential services. Harmony y Unity: Connection nodes between other modules.The station needs to elevate the heights of its orbit periodically. Zarya: Mainly aimed at storage and the station’s propulsion.Zvezda: Russian service module, similarly built to the main module of the space station Mir.Whenever they are not doing their daily activities, they have a very exact length of time for personal cleanliness, for eating, for doing sport and for sleeping. That is where the crew gets ready for the extra-vehicular activities, like spacewalks outside the station. The astronauts divide their time between the laboratories (Destiny, Kibo y Columbus), Zvezda’s service module (that is, for example, where the kitchen is), Cupola’s observatory and the pressurized hatch Quest. ISS’s assembly was completed in 2011, and it cost approximately more than $100k million.

The current expedition is the number 44, and the number of members of the crew has been increased up to six. It was formed by three astronauts that lived there during six months. Since then, the station took shape during a decade through several missions from space shuttles and the launching of Russian rockets. This ISS orbital complex was first started in 1998 with the launch of the Russian module Zarya. And it is not only because the ISS orbits the Earth 360 kilometers high. The World Space Week just happened, and we are going to tell you *why the ISS is organized that way, and why our mothers could not just go in there shouting to tidy everything up. However, such apparent mess has a method. It makes the impression that the astronauts live surrounded by chaos, just like if they were back to their dorms at college. Have you ever seen pictures or videos of the International Space Station (ISS) from the inside? Probably you have been surprised by the amount of things displayed on the walls, all over the floor and the ceilings of the modules.
