The process of assembling the International Space Station (ISS) has been under way since the 1990s. Zarya , the first ISS module, was launched by a Proton rocket on 20 November 1998. The STS-88 Space Shuttle mission followed two weeks after Zarya was launched, bringing Unity , the first of three node modules, and connecting it to Zarya .
The initial spacewalk to begin the assembly of the International Space Station was held on 7 December 1998, [4] following the launch of the first section of the station, Zarya, from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, on 20 November 1998. [5] The spacewalk attached the U.S.-built Unity node to Zarya. [4]
After earlier plans for launch readiness in 2012, [5] the clock ensemble was expected to travel to the space station aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in 2021. [6] Major delays due to difficulties in the development and test of the active hydrogen maser and the time transfer microwave system have extended the launch to 2025. [ 7 ]
