1 National Aeronautics and pace Administration International pace tation NP JC calendar200
2 Welcome to the International pace tation 200 Calendar As we enter into our tenth year of human presence on board the International pace tation (I), we celebrate the fact and acknowledge the success of the I as one of the greatest technological, political and engineering accomplishments in human history. As we near the completion of the I 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 I. he I is the first 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 I, 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. his calendar is designed to show all facets of the I using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NAA is grateful for the hard work and commitment that America s teachers demonstrate each and every day as they educate and shape the young students who will be tomorrow s leaders and explorers. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are inspired to learn something new and exciting about NAA and the I throughout the year. Regards, Michael. uffredini I Program Manager
3 With the beginning of a new year, construction of the International pace tation 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, 35 days a year. It is a shining example of international cooperation for the United tates and its space exploration partners.

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.
