17. The International Space Station
In total, five participating agencies have a part in the International Space Station (ISS) – NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ISS is a location where people conduct research that focuses on astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other areas.
The ISS circles the earth about 15.5 orbits every day or every 92 minutes. The operations of the ISS will continue until 2024, for sure. However, people hope that it will maintain services until 2030. By the end of 2019, about 240 people can say they visited the ISS from various countries.
