the international space station (iss) is a space station in low earth orbit. its first component launched into orbit in 1998, and the iss is now the largest artificial body in orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from earth. the iss consists of pressurized modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components. iss components have been launched by russian proton and soyuz rockets as well as american space shuttles.

bullet::::- dr. kate rubins became the third space camp alumna to fly in space when she launched to the international space station in july 2016. kate dreamed of becoming an astronaut as a child and did chores around the house to earn her trip to space camp in seventh grade. she left camp knowing she needed to take as many math and science courses as she could, and that focus paved the way to her study of viral diseases and, ultimately, the nasa astronaut corps. kate received a bachelor's degree in molecular biology and a ph.d. in cancer biology. selected by "popular science" magazine as one of its "brilliant 10" in 2009, kate was a fellow and principal investigator at the whitehead institute for biomedical research at the massachusetts institute of technology before becoming a member of the 20th nasa astronaut class. on july 7, 2016, kate launched from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan to the international space station aboard the first test flight of the new soyuz ms spacecraft. together the international crew of expeditions 48 and 49 conducted or participated in more than 275 different scientific experiments, including research in molecular and cellular biology, human physiology, fluid and combustion physics, earth and space science and technology development. kate was the first person to sequence dna in space, eventually sequencing more than 2 billion base pairs of dna during a series of experiments to analyze sequencing in microgravity. she also grew heart cells (cardiomyocytes) in cell culture, and performed quantitative, real-time pcr and microbiome experiments in orbit. kate conducted two spacewalks totaling 12 hours, 46 minutes. during her first spacewalk, kate and astronaut jeff williams installed the first international docking adapter, a new docking port for u.s. commercial crew spacecraft. during the second, they performed maintenance of the station external thermal control system and installed high-definition cameras, enabling never-before seen images of the planet and space station. they also successfully captured the spacex dragon commercial resupply spacecraft and then returned science experiment samples to earth.
