The ISS is a high-tech science lab that generates its own power and can support a full crew of six people. Astronauts conduct experiments, maintain the station, and exercise for hours a day to stay fit in the weightless environment. They provide scientists with information about living in space long-term that NASA and other space agencies can use to plan trips to Mars and other destinations.
