For more information about the International Space Station please visit www.nasa.gov

As we enter into our tenth year of human presence on board the International Space

Station (ISS), we celebrate the fact and acknowledge the success of the ISS as one of the

greatest technological, political and engineering accomplishments in human history. As we

near the completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly, along with the successful expansion of

the nominal crew size from three to a history-making six people, we turn our focus to the

multifaceted purpose of the ISS. The ISS is the rst step in exploration, from research and

discovery, to international cooperation, to technology development, to living and working

permanently in low-Earth orbit. With the unique capabilities of the ISS, we as a species can

unravel the mysteries of life to better understand our home planet and continue our innate

mandate to explore the beyond.

This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding

imagery and providing signicant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next

generation. NASA is grateful for the hard work and commitment that Americas teachersdemonstrate each and every day as they educate and shape the young students who will

be tomorrows leaders and explorers. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are inspired to

learn something new and exciting about NASA and the ISS throughout the year.

Regards,

Michael T. Suffredini

ISS Program Manager

Welcome to the International Space Station 2010 Calendar


3/15


With the

beginning of

a new year,

construction of

the International

Space Station

is nearing

completion.

As the largest

and most

complicated

spacecraft

ever built, this

orbiting outpost

can support

a crew of six,

operating 24

hours a day,

seven days a

week, 365 days

a year. It is a

shining example

of international

cooperationfor the United

States and

its space

exploration

partners.

February 2010Out of this WorldScience

The 2005 NASA

Authorization

Act designated

the U.S.

segment of the

space station

as a national

laboratory,

making it

available for

research by

other federal

entities and the

private sector.

The research

conducted on

this one-of-a-

kind orbiting lab

helps improve

life on Earth

and teaches

us valuable

lessons needed

to tackle the

challenges of

long-duration

space ight.

board the space

station have

taken thousands

of photos

of the Earth

spewing smoke

and lava to

icy lakes and

of our planet,

crews have

given humankind

views of

these natural

from one of the

most unusual

all of these.

Crews literally

With the

installation of its

last solar arrays,

the International

Space Station

is equal to the

length of a

football eld,

including both

end zones.

Once complete,

it will weigh

almost a

million pounds

(453,592 kg)

and have living

space nearly

equal to the

room inside

one and a

half Boeing

747 jetliners.

Currently, the

space station

travels an

equivalent

distance to the

moon and back

in about a day.
