Detailed explanation-1: -The International Space Station was taken into space piece-by-piece and gradually built in orbit using spacewalking astronauts and robotics. Most missions used NASA’s space shuttle to carry up the heavier pieces, although some individual modules were launched on single-use rockets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Titanium, Kevlar, and high-grade steel are common materials in the ISS. Engineers had to use these materials to make the structure lightweight yet strong and puncture-resistant. Because each of the aluminum-can shaped components of the Station has to be lifted into orbit, minimizing weight is crucial.
