The International Space Station (ISS) constitutes a partnership among the nations of Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States (US) to cooperate on the design, development, operation and utilization of a permanently occupied civil space station. Assembly began with the first element launched in November 1998, and the ISS has been permanently crewed since November 2000. The on-orbit assembly, as of the STS-116 mission concluded December 22, 2006, is approximately 60% complete. All of the principal remaining US elements of the ISS, as well as the European and Japanese laboratories, have completed development, test and evaluation, and are awaiting launch at the Space Station Processing Facility, Kennedy Space Center.
