The first module of the International Space Station was launched into orbit on November 20, 1998 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on a Proton-K launch vehicle. It was the Zarya functional cargo unit created in Russia. On December 7, the Zarya module was docked with the American Unity hub module, delivered into space by the Endeavor shuttle (mission STS-88). 

Since 2000, crews from different countries have been continuously working on the ISS. Currently, cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub and Konstantin Borisov, as well as astronauts Jasmine Moghbeli, Loral O’Hara, Andreas Mogensen and Satoshi Furukawa are conducting scientific research and experiments at the station.
