Answer:

In 1984,President Ronald Reagan committed the United States in creating a permanently-occupied space station and, along with NASA, requested for other nations to be a part of the project. little over a year, nine of ESA's 13 member countries had signed on, with Japan and Canada.

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the biggest and largest space station ever created, it also the largest structure ever designed in space, and it's one of the most complex international scientific projects in history.

The project from the beginning started at first the United States, through NASA, on the ISS project, 15 other countries were got involved in operating and building various parts of the station. this countries are, Canada, Japan, Russia, Brazil, and 11 member nations of ESA (France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Germany,The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).

Step-by-step explanation:

President Ronald Reagan In 1984, committed the United States in creating a permanently-occupied space station and, along with NASA, requested for other nations to be a part of the project. little over a year, nine of ESA's 13 member countries had signed on, as had and Japan and Canada.

In 1991, the Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev and President George Bush (senior) and decided build to joint Space Shuttle-Mir missions that would lay the foundation for cooperative space station efforts.

From 1993 to the present day, NASA was faced with numerous tight federal space budgets and cost overruns and with the tragic loss in 2003 of the Space Shuttle Columbia that have destroyed the station's capabilities and delayed its completion. In any case, by simplifying the station's design, streamlining the program, and negotiating cost-sharing agreements and barter and with other nations, NASA and its international partners have made the ISS possible.

The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest space station ever designed, the largest structure ever constructed in space, and it's one of the most composite international scientific projects in history.

Now essentially finished, the ISS is four times larger than the old Soviet Mir space station and longer than an American football field (including the end-zones). It has a pressurized working and living space that is equivalent to a conventional five-bedroom house, the volume of a 747 jumbo-jet and can put up with seven astronauts.

Although the United States, through NASA, started the ISS project, 15 other countries were also a part in building and operating various parts of the station they were, Canada, Japan, Russia, Brazil, and 11 member nations of ESA (France, Italy, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).

The contributions Includes the following:

United States

  • Provided airlock that accommodates American and Russian spacesuits
  • Developed the American laboratory (Destiny
  • Truss structures that provide the ISS framework
  • Environmental control, Thermal control, and life support health
  • Habitation and centrifuge accommodation modules

Canada

  • Developed Mobile Remote Service Base to allow the robotic arm to travel along the truss
  • Developed Servicing Mobile System (with a smaller manipulator attachment

Russia

  • Soyuz spacecraft crew rotation and using Transport Progress vehicles
  • Power science platform that provides about 20 kilowatts of electrical power

ESA

  • Columbus Facility Orbital (pressurized laboratory and external payload accommodations)
  • Supplied transport vehicles (Logistics) to be launched by the Ariane V

Japan

  • On-orbit Kibo facility (pressurized laboratory, Logistics Module, and attached facility exposed to the vacuum of space serviced by a robotic arm
  • Logistics resupply using the H-2 launch vehicle

Brazil

  • A pallet to house external payloads, un- pressurized logistics carriers, and an Earth observation facility.
