The International Space Station is a joint project of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan that has been in operation since 1998, but is slated for retirement in 2024.

The current ISS crew, Expedition-57, consists of European Space Agency (ESA) Commander Alexander Gerst, Roscosmos Commander Sergei Prokopyev and NASA astronaut Serena Aunon-Chancellor. The astronauts' mission on board the orbital laboratory lasts for six months.

The crew conducts a range of technical and scientific tasks, including the installation of special equipment for the ICARUS initiative, which aims to monitor the migration of wild animals and birds.

NASA astronauts Andrew Feustel and Ricky Arnold and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev flew around the orbiting laboratory to take pictures of the station before returning home after spending 197 days in space. The station is celebrating the 18th anniversary of continuous human presence on board and the 20th anniversary of the launch of the first section, Zarya, in November, 2018.
