Description: THIS IS A 1996 NASA Publicity Photograph featuring thye International Space Station: Phase 2: Assembly Begins The international Space Station program has three distinct phases, each building on the one prior and representing new milestones and capabilities. Phase 1 builds joint space experience and begins scientific research between the US and Russian partners. Phase 1 missions include crew exchanges, space shuttle flights to the Russian space station Mir, and joint on-orbit operations. During Phase 2, actual construction of the new International Space Station begins. The US space shuttle and Russian rockets launch space station hardware—built in the US, Russia and Canadafor assembly on orbit. When the Phase 2 missions end in March 1999, the evolving space station will look like this technical rendition and will be ready to support continuous scientific research with three-person crews. Later that year, the 10 Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) arrives. The 55-foot robot arm, built by Canada, can move up to 125 tons of modules and equipment. The robotic system assists with assembly, spacewalks, regular space station maintenance or repairs. On STS-95, Atlantis' crew begins outfitting the US laboratory, making it ready for the first utilization flight in February 1999. With the berthing of the airlock and its high pressure gas tanks in March, the station can support spacewalks, and Phase 2 construction of the international Space Station officially ends.
