| Launch pad: This 1960 three-module space station concept was designed, by the Apollo program, to transfer crews to and from orbit |
The International Space Station (ISS) has been in space for 11 years Wednesday.

As of August this year, there have been 135 launches to the space station since the first module, Zarya, arrived on November 20, 1998.
