pstrong1998:/strong The space shuttle citeEndeavour/cite lifts off from Cape Canaveral, carrying the first American-built component of the International Space Station. Two days later, the connecting node known as Unity is coupled with Zarya (Sunrise), the Russian-built control module, and the space station is a reality./p pFollowing a flawless ascent, the crew of six mdash; five Americans and a Russian mdash; maneuvered citeEndeavour/cite to within a robot-arm's length of Zarya, which had preceded the shuttle into space on Nov. 20. Once the shuttle had a firm grasp on the Russian module, the job of a href="http://www.pbs.org/spacestation/gallery/5_unity_zarya.htm"joining Unity and Zarya/a began./p pThree spacewalks were performed to connect electrical and communications systems, and once the two components were functioning harmoniously, mission specialists began preparing the a href="http://www.wired.com/science/space/multimedia/2008/12/gallery_spacestation"space station/a to receive its third module, which the Russians sent up the following year. The citeEndeavour/cite astronauts also tested Zarya's battery supplies before heading home./p pThe space station's third component was the service module, which arrived in July 1999. This represented a huge piece of the overall puzzle, housing as it did the first living quarters for a station crew./p pThe a href="http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html"International Space Station/a was assembled gradually, with most of the world's space-faring nations providing specific components, which were then delivered on a regular basis by U.S. and Russian cargo ships. Following the a href="http://www.space.com/columbiatragedy/"loss of the shuttle citeColumbia/cite/a in February 2003, the Russians took up the burden of shuttling supplies and components to the ISS until the a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle#Fleet_history"shuttle program was back/a on its feet./p pNow, a decade later, expansion of the space station continues. It is easily the most expensive construction project in history, and it got a little more expensive on Nov. 18 when a spacewalking astronaut a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27784400/"lost her tool bag/a./p pciteEndeavour/cite, incidentally, was named after 18th-century explorer James Cook's ship. Cook, of course, was an Englishman, hence the British spelling of the word.
