What's it like on the International Space Station?

Watch this fly through tour of the International Space Station and see where the crew live, the tools and machines they use and how much space they have to live in.

The ISS, which stands for the International Space Station, is like a gigantic space home where astronauts live and work way up above the Earth! 

It's like a super cool spaceship that's always orbiting our planet. 

Astronauts from different countries live there together, and they do all sorts of exciting experiments and research to learn more about space and how it affects our bodies. 

They even grow plants and study how things float in the weightless space. The ISS is like a space lab, and astronauts wear special space suits when they go outside to fix things or explore space. 

It's a bit like living in a science fiction movie, but it's real! 

The International Space Station is like a shining star in the sky, reminding us of our dreams to explore the unknown and work together to understand the mysteries of the universe.
