Detailed explanation-1: -The first rudimentary station was created in 1969 by the linking of two Russian Soyuz vehicles in space, followed by other stations and developments in space technology until construction began on the ISS in 1998, aided by the first reusable spacecraft ever developed: the American shuttles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sixteen nations formed a global partnership to build the ISS.

Detailed explanation-3: -As envisioned, Almaz consisted of a 20-ton module periodically visited by crews of 2 to 3 cosmonauts using Soyuz crew transport spacecraft.
