A space station, also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station, is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly as an artificial satellite in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock. A space station is distinguished from other spacecraft used for human spaceflight by lack of major propulsion or landing systems. Instead, other vehicles transport people and cargo to and from the station. As of September 2014 two space stations are in orbit: the International Space Station, which is permanently manned, and China's Tiangong-1 (which successfully launched on September 29, 2011), which is unmanned most of the time. Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab and most recently Mir.
Today's space stations are research platforms, used to study the effects of long-term space flight on the human body as well as to provide platforms for greater number and length of scientific studies than available on other space vehicles. Each crew member staying aboard the station for weeks or months, but rarely more than a year. Most of the time crew remain at station but its not necessary that crew should have to be stay at station. Since the ill-fated flight of Soyuz 11 to Salyut 1, all manned spaceflight duration records have been set aboard space stations. The duration record for a single spaceflight is 437.7 days, set by Valeriy Polyakov aboard Mir from 1994 to 1995. As of 2013, three astronauts have completed single missions of over a year, all aboard Mir.
The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit. Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, and the ISS is now the largest artificial body in orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays, and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets as well as American Space Shuttles.
The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields. The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars. The ISS maintains an orbit with an altitude of between 330 and 435Â km (205 and 270Â mi) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda module or visiting spacecraft. It completes 15.54Â orbits per day.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States Federal Government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency became operational on October 1, 1958.
Since that time, most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches.
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) cameras are a payload package delivered to the International Space Station on the SpaceX CRS-3 Mission, launched on April 18, 2014. The High-Definition Earth Viewing camera suite was carried aboard the Dragon spacecraft and is configured on a platform on the exterior of the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory module. It is the first large unpressurized NASA experiment to be assigned for delivery to the International Space Station by SpaceX. The system is composed of four commercial high definition video cameras which have been built to record video of the Earth from multiple angles by having them mounted on the International Space Station. The cameras stream live video of Earth to be viewed online (see External Links below).
The HDEV system was developed by engineers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. High school students also helped design some of the cameras' components, through the High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware program, and teams of students are expected to remotely operate the experiment.

I was recording the HDEV live stream, waiting to see the moon sets behind the horizon on the left when I noticed this bright object, it appeared almost in the same time as the ISS got out of earth shadow, this happened Wednesday July 16th 2014 at 08:36 am GMT and lasted for 15 minutes. a meteor? a rocket stage? please help identify this UFO
This is a video of the forward facing ISS HDEV camera as the ISS passes through the South Atlantic Anomaly (http://dailym.ai/1pPLfJU). Radiation strikes on the CMOS are detected automatically and highlighted with red boxes. Direct Link: http://bit.ly/1okJUhb ISS HDEV: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iss-hdev-payload

SOMEONE SAID THAT
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT
GOES ON INSIDE
SOMEONE IN LOVE
STRANGE AS IT SEEMS
IT MAKES THEM DO THINGS
IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS
WOULD NEVER THINK OF
PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THINGS
THEY DON'T DESERVE
A JURISDICTION OF LOVE
ENOUGH'S NOT ENOUGH
WHEN LOVE GETS ROUGH
THE JURISDICTION OF LOVE
OFF THEIR WALLS
JUST LIKE NIAGARA FALLS
LOGICAL THOUGHT
IS NO COMFORT
IT ONLY MAKES THE
MATTER SEEM WORSE
MIGHT EQUALS RIGHT
IN CONCUBIAL FIGHT
THE JURISDICTION OF LOVE
LOVE EQUALS WAR
I DON'T LIKE IT NO MORE
THE JURISDICTION OF LOVE
PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THINGS
THEY DON'T DESERVE
A JURISDICTION OF LOVE
WHEN LOVE TURNS THE CRANK
IT DEMANDS CARTE BLANCHE
