The idea of constructing a modern manned space station in low Earth orbit had been considered by NASA for about two decades before its development was finally approved, at which time emphasis was put on the need to invite international participation. Political, economic, and human factors have shaped the course of events in relation to Space Station Freedom. The objectives and international participation including the United States, European, Canadian, and Japanese contributions are discussed as well as the construction, assembly sequence and future evolution.
