| Space Station celebrates 15 years above Earth |
The International Space Station celebrates 15 years above Earth.
More than 200 people, from 15 countries have spent time on board the structure - which is larger than a six-bedroom house and powered by an acre of solar panels.
The most amount of time anyone has spent at the station is 879 days.
On this day in 2000, a Russian rocket docked at the ISS carrying Expedition 1, made up of three astronauts.
The ISS circles the Earth every 90 minutes, with astronauts treated to a sunrise or sunset every 45 minutes.
