Sunday, September 7 th, 2008 ESPACE Cooperation en espace

Quand les gens ont commence de voyager en espace, c était un compétition. Les États-Unis et la Russe étaient au milieu du Cold War et ils ne partageaient rien de leurs programmes despaces. Il ny avait aucun coopération.

Depuis la fin du Cold War en 1989, beaucoup a changé. Les États-Unis et la Russe travaillent ensemble et plusieurs pays autour du monde participe dans une programme cooperative despace.

Animation Le plus grand exemple de ceci est le cooperation entre les pays est le ISS, le Station Spatiale Internationale.

Plusieurs pays ont joué un rôle dans le construction du ISS et plusieurs dautres ont participé dans des missions a bord du ISS. Voici les pays qui jouent un rôle:
