A truly perfect example of peaceful cooperation among nations, the International Space Station was designed between 1984 and 1993. Elements of the station were in construction throughout the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Europe beginning in the late 1980s. The International Space Station Program brings together international flight crews, multiple launch vehicles, globally distributed launch and flight operations, training, engineering, and development facilities, communications networks, and the international scientific research community.
