International Space Station Fast Facts (CNN) -- Here's a look at what you need to know about the International Space Station (ISS), a spacecraft built by a partnership of 16 nations. The 16 nations are the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia, Brazil, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. At full capacity, the one-million-pound space station will include six laboratories and provide more research space than any spacecraft ever built. There will be enough living space for a crew of seven. Information on ISS crews and expeditions can be found here. Statistics (as of June 2013) Source: NASA The ISS includes eight large modules, each launched separately and connected in space by astronauts. The ISS weighs 924,739 lbs (419,456 kilograms) Habitable Volume: 13,696 cubic feet (388 cubic meters) Solar Array Length: 239.4 feet (73 meters) There have been 174 spacewalks conducted in support of space station assembly, totaling almost 1,100 hours. The space station has been visited by 204 individuals from eight different countries. There have been 134 launches to the space station: 89 Russian vehicles, 37 space shuttles, two U.S. commercial vehicles, three European vehicles and three Japanese vehicles. On its tenth anniversary (November 2, 2010), the ISS is estimated to have made 57,361 orbits around the earth.

December 11, 2013 - A pump on one of the station's two external cooling loops shuts down after hitting a temperature limit, according to NASA. The malfunctioning loop had been producing too much ammonia, possibly the result of a malfunctioning valve. December 24, 2013 - Astronauts complete a repair job to replace the problematic pump. Their spacewalk lasts seven and a half hours, and is the second ever spacewalk on a Christmas Eve. The first was in 1999 for a Hubble Repair Mission.
