Celebrating 10 years: everything, & I mean everything you need to know about the International Space Station
uploaded by PEP
From where to find 1:100 scale drawings for making your own space station model to videos, interactive features, and history, here's everything you need to know about the International Space Station as it marks 10 years of service. In addition to the many links in this article, there's also a quick link to about 60 other recent stories about space station activities.
This one-stop guide is quick and easy-to-use one-stop library of International Space Station information.
It's traveled more than a billion miles in space, required 114 spacewalks, and today, the International Space Station (ISS) is ten years old. It's the largest, and most technically complex, spacecraft ever built. A testament to international cooperation, the space station began life with the launch of the Zarya module on Nov. 20, 1998. The bus-sized component was sent aloft from Kazakhstan, and has continued to grow ever since

In the old British Blue Peter tradition I would like to make a model of it out of old corn flake packets and sticky back plastic!

Hi Pep, I think you'd like Jonathan McDowell's periodic chronicles on space activities. He is based at Harvard.
