How ISS Was Built In Space | Secret Behind International Space Station | Firstpost Ripple

Right now, a 450-tonne metal fortress is flying over your head at 27,600 km/h, and it was built entirely in the vacuum of space. Costing over $150 billion and taking more than a decade of high-risk space missions to assemble, the International Space Station (ISS) is the most complex engineering feat in human history. In this episode of The Ripple, Konark breaks down how former Cold War rivals united to launch, align, and bolt together a football-field-sized mega-structure in low Earth orbit while moving five miles per second.

From the historic docking of Zarya and Unity to surviving extreme thermal swings with an intricate liquid ammonia cooling network, discover the untold logistics behind humanity’s city in the sky.
