Who operates the ISS?

The International Space Station (ISS) is operated through a partnership involving five space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (European Space Agency), JAXA (Japan), and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). These agencies collaborate on various aspects of the ISS, including research, maintenance, and crew operations. Each agency contributes resources, technology, and personnel to support the station's scientific missions and ensure its functionality.
