The ISS is in the solar system and circles the Earth. It looks like a little rocket with solar panels. It was built in sections, ISS adds a new section each year. The sections where ISS workers live and do research is called living quarters.ISS was built by 16 different countries. Many people from around the world work at the ISS. All workers stay up in the ISS for a very long time and visit back to Earth. Up in the ISS many people work hard collecting data.
