The International Space Station is a platform for scientific research that requires one or more of the unusual conditions present in low Earth orbit (for example microgravity, -radiation and extreme temperatures). The primary fields of research include human research, space medicine, life sciences, physical sciences, astronomy and meteorology.
With principal research facilities located in the United States Orbital Segment (USOS) of the International Space Station (ISS), the Laboratory conducts research in life sciences, physical sciences, technology development and remote sensing for a broad range of academic, government and commercial users.

Ground track example from Heavens-Above.An observer in Sicily can see the International Space Station when it enters the circle at 9:26 p.m. The observer would see a bright object appear in the northwest, which would move across the sky to a point almost overhead, where it disappears from view, in the space of three minutes.
Human Research Facility 1 shown after its installation in the U.S. Laboratory, Destiny, during Expedition 2. - NASA Image: ISS02E6028. Human Research Facility 1 (HRF-1) on board the International Space Station (ISS) allows investigators to study the effects of long-duration space flight on the human body. Equipment in the HRF-1 includes a ...
Japanese astronaut Naoko Yamazaki installs WORF in Destiny. The Window Observational Research Facility (WORF) is an experiment rack facility manufactured by the Brazilian Space Agency, [1] which remotely operated payloads and crew members can perform Earth and space science research, including hand held photography, at the U.S. Laboratory Science Window on the International Space Station.
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large space station that was assembled and is maintained in low Earth orbit by a collaboration of five space agencies and their contractors: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canada).
The International Space Station Archaeological Project (ISSAP) is a research group working in the areas of space and contemporary archaeology. It is the first full-scale archaeological investigation of human activity in space, studying the International Space Station (ISS) as an archaeological site. [1] [2] [3] It started in 2015.
