The International Space Station is the largest human-made structure ever put in space, but it doesn't have as many people on board as you may think.

So, they sent some sporophytes to the ISS. Astronauts affixed the samples to the station's exterior, where they remained for 283 days before coming back to Earth on a Dragon cargo capsule in January 2023. (Cygnus wasn't designed to survive the trip back to Earth, but Dragon crew and cargo craft are reusable.)

Since the first crew of astronauts reached the International Space Station on Nov. 2, 2000, humanity has had a continuous presence among the stars.

A species of moss survived for 9 months on the outside of the International Space Station, new research reveals — and 80% of the samples kept reproducing when returned to Earth.

With NASA's International Space Station set to come out of service in 2030, American aerospace firm Vast has stepped into a frenzied race for the world's first commercial space station.

A powerful solar flare and rare severe geomagnetic storm triggered aurora lights and precautionary measures aboard the ISS.

More than 3,700 students across North America competed to design experiments for launch aboard the International Space Station — and in USF’s first official year participating in the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program (SSEP), an interdisciplinary competition open to all colleges, USF students joined forces and answered the call.

By 2030, the iconic ISS – where the world's astronauts have lived, worked and gazed upon the cosmos for more than two decades – will be no more.

While lunar gardens are still out of reach, the study sheds more light on terrestrial biology that may not be limited to our planet's surface

Spores of moss reportedly survived its nearly a year outside experience in space on the International Space Station and returned back to Earth alive.

As the International Space Station nears retirement, a bipartisan senatorial group proposed a National Institute for Space Research for U.S. microgravity research.
