	International Space Station (ISS)
		When complete, the ISS will be over four times larger than Mir and longer than a football field (including the end-zones), have a pressurized living and working space equivalent to the volume of a 747 jumbo-jet, and be able to accommodate up to seven astronauts.
		Construction of the ISS began in late 1998 and will involve a total of 45 assembly missions, including 36 by the Shuttle, and numerous re-supply missions by unmanned Progress craft and rotations of Soyuz crew-return vehicles.
		The truss also supports a mobile transporter that can be positioned for robotic assembly and maintenance operations and is the site of the Canadian Mobile Servicing System, a 16.8-m-long robot arm with 125-ton payload capability and mobile transporter which can be positioned along the truss for robotic assembly and maintenance operations.
