Space stations under scrutiny

Space stations could certainly be included in the list of the most useful inventions of the world. Otherwise known as space stations, they are essentially modern and timeless devices moving in space. They are not a means of space transportation, but a place where astronauts stay.

• For medium and long-term stays in space
• Necessary to be transported by spaceship
• Function as laboratories

When you say space station, many people may think of a type of observatory that serves as a base, laboratory and Science Centre Together. In recent years and probably in the future, space stations will also be used for space tourism.

Where did it all start?

If you look at the early days of the orbital station, you have to go back to 1895. That's when the first more technical design for a space station was made, signed by Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky. Subsequently, other projects under the auspices of the USSR and the United States of America were added. On the basis of this there were projects implemented and not implemented. We will now acquaint you with all of them in more detail.
