25 years, 288 visitors, over 23 countries, 5 international partners, and one home. The Expedition 1 crew arrived at the International Space Station on November 2, 2000, making them the first crew to occupy the orbital laboratory. This November marks 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the station contributing science and research to benefit humanity on Earth as well as future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Nothing like a little cosmic glow to brighten your orbit. ✨ This timelapse from the International International Space Station captures vibrant green aurora ribbons sweeping across Earth’s curve as station hardware drifts into view. Aboard this shared home in low Earth orbit, astronauts from around the world live and work side‑by‑side, a daily reminder that exploration is strongest when nations do it together. Auroras form when charged particles from the Sun interact with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, creating waves of light that ripple across the sky. Science, perspective, and global partnership — all in one pass.
