Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For 20 years, the astronauts aboard the International Space Station have conducted science in a way that cannot be done anywhere else. Orbiting about 250 miles above our planet, the space station is the only laboratory available for long-duration microgravity research.

Detailed explanation-2: -Major areas of inquiry for researchers on the space station include: Biology and Biotechnology. Earth and Space Science. Educational and Cultural Activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -The International Space Station is an unprecedented achievement in global human endeavors to conceive, plan, build, operate, and utilize a research platform in space.

Detailed explanation-4: -Space research helps innovation Astronauts also conduct research in space to better understand how fluids behave. Studying fluid dynamics in a gravity-free environment can help with the development of everything from medical devices to heat transfer systems.

Detailed explanation-5: -It’s all about location. An orbiting laboratory provides researchers with the unique features of low-Earth orbit (LEO): long-duration microgravity, exposure to space, and a unique perspective on our planet. These attributes enable scientists to conduct innovative experiments that cannot be done anywhere else.
