On July 23, the Russian Soyuz spacecraft successfully brought cosmonauts to the ISS.

The ISS program is a joint project among five participating space agencies: the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Russia’s Roscosmos, the European Space Agency (ESA), Japan’s Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

The station is divided into two sections — the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the United States Orbital Segment (USOS).
