NASA celebrates 25th anniversary of the ISS with call to crew aboard the station

NASA and its astronauts are commemorating the 25th anniversary of the International Space Station (ISS) being in orbit.

To mark the occasion, the federal space agency organized a live conversation on Wednesday afternoon between the Expedition 70 crew and NASA Associate Administrator Robert Cabana and Joel Montalbano, the space station program manager.

While the ISS officially launched on Nov. 25, 1998, a significant milestone occurred on Dec. 6 of the same year when one of the initial components, Unity, was attached to the pre-existing Zarya module.

Unity served as the link connecting the American and Russian segments of the station and currently serves as the communal dining area for the crew, ABC News reported.
