    Four Pioneer spacecraft (named Pioneer 6, 7, 8, and 9) were successfully launched into Solar orbit, continuously performing experiments from 1965 through 1968. These vehicles tracked cosmic rays, discovered He+ plasma of Halley's + Comet, provided a solar weather network, measured solar winds, and performed other experiments.

    Salyut I

    +

    The Salyut I space station was launched successfully on its first attempt and orbited for six months before being intentionally destroyed during re-entry. During its time in orbit, Salyut I was visited by both the Soyuz 10 and Soyuz + 11 spaceships. The Soyuz 10 crew was unable to enter the space station and had to return to Earth. The Soyuz 11 crew successfully docked and stayed in the station for 23 days. However, the crew was killed during re-entry to Earth and + Salyut I de-orbited soon after.

    The International Space Station (ISS)

    +

    The ISS is a joint project between five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ownership and use of the space station is established by + intergovernmental treaties and agreements. First inhabited in 2000, the station has been constantly manned since those first long-term residents. Among the residents are scientists and occasional tourists from 18 different nations who + have continuously updated and expanded the station.
