A space station is any large structure
designed for human occupation in space for
extended periods of time. Space stations are
used for carrying out astronomical
observations and surveys of Earth, as well as
for biological studies and the processing of
materials in weightlessness. The first space
station was Salyut 1, and the USA Skylab.
