It continues to grow as a newborn child, which gradually grows in space. The first days of November have been a year since human beings inhabited the international space station, a year in which some crew have been living.

Since then the space station has continued to grow and currently has a size of three rooms. The space station has a weight of 150 tons.

At an altitude of 400 kilometers it revolves around the Earth. The international space station is the laboratory suspended in space and residence. Three crews, four American astronauts and five Russians have been present for a year. With 79 visitors from six states, fourteen spacecraft have arrived in this stretch.
