WHAT IS ISS (INTERNATIONAL SPACE SYSTEM)?
It is a large spacecraft that orbits around the earth.It is a
home where astronauts live.Its also a science lab many
countries worked together to build and use it.It is a
project between 5 participating space agencies :
NASA(USA) , ROSCOSMOS(Russia),JAXA(Japan),
ESA(Europe),and CSA(Canada).
HOW DID IT START ?
The first rudimentary station was created in 1969 by the
linking of two Russian Soyuz vehicles in space , followed
by other stations and developments in space technology
until construction began on the ISS in 1988 ,aided by the
first reusable spacecraft ever developed : the American
shuttles.
HOW OLD IS THE SPACE STATION?
The first piece of ISS was launched in 1988 . A Russian
rocket launched the first piece after that more pieces
were added . Two years later , the station was ready for
people . The first crew arrived on NOVEMBER 2’2000.
People have lived on the space station ever since. NASA
and its partners around the world finished the space
station in 2011.
HOW BIG IS THE SPACE STATION?
It is as big inside as a house with 5 bedrooms . It has two
bathrooms, a gymnasium and a big bay window . Six people
are able to live there . It weighs almost a million pounds. It
is big enough to cover a football field including the end
zones . It has science labs from the US , Russia , Japan
and Europe .
CAN YOU SEE ISS FROM EARTH?
From most locations on Earth , assuming you have clear
night skies , you can see ISS for yourself . From Earth it
looks like a bright star moving quickly from horizon to
horizon . As suddenly it appears, it disappears.
 WHY IS THE ISS IMPORTANT?
The ISS is a large spacecraft in orbit around the Earth.It
serves as a home where crews of astronauts and
cosmonauts live.The space station is also a unique science
laboratory.Several nations worked together to build and use
the space station.The main purpose of a space station is to
provide astronauts with the ability to survive in outer
space.These stations are equipped with the necessary tools
and equipment to gather materials and to maintain contact
with Earth.
WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE ISS ?
The main purpose of the ISS is to provide an International
Laboratory for experiments within the space environment
which despite all our technological advances , is nearly
impossible to replicate here on Earth.
HOW DOES THE ISS WORK?
Mountains,lakes and oceans pass by in a beautiful stream
of rapidly changing scenery as you orbit the earth every
90 minutes,amazingly that 16 times daily . NASA took the
lead in coordinating the ISS’s construction , and today the
ISS serves as an orbiting laboratory for experiments in
life, physical,earth and material sciences.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT ISS?
• The ISS flies at an average altitude of 248 miles-399km.
• It was taken into space piece by piece and then built in orbit.
• The systems on the ISS are being controlled by 52 different
computers.
• Approximately 7 tons of food supplies are required to support a
crew of 3 people for 6 months.
• The electrical systems on the ISS include 8 miles of wire.
• Oxygen comes in the space station through a process called
electrolysis.
 DSS
(DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM)
WHAT IS DSS?
It is a computer program application that analyzes business data and presents it so that users
can make business decisions more easily . It provides managers with the information that
enables them to make both semi structured and un structured decisions. A DSS employs
various analytical models to perform low level analysis of data and produce information.
