International Space Station Celebrates 15 Years in Orbit

A. On November 20th, 1998, a Russian rocket launched off with an unusual piece of cargo – Zarya ("sunrise" in Russian), the module that became the first piece of the largest manmade structure ever built in airless space – The International Space Station (ISS). Designed to be the power source for the ISS, it orbited Earth for two weeks, before being joined by Unity.

B. Launched by the US Space Shuttle Endeavour on December 6th, 1998, Unity arrived with a crew of six American and Russian astronauts. A few days later, the American module was successfully attached to the Russian module. On December 11th, 1998, at 2.54 p.m. the astronauts made history by becoming the first humans to board the newly established International Space Station.

C. Over the years, the ISS has grown to the size of a football pitch with about the same amount of livable space as a normal six-bedroom house. So it's big enough for hosting teams of astronauts from around the world, for as long as six months at a time. What's even cooler is that this large construction project is a never before seen international cooperation. Five different space agencies – NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, JAXA and CSA, representing 15 countries have come together to make the ISS a reality.

D. Over the last 15 years, astronauts have made 174 spacewalks and spent 1,100 hours or nearly 46 days on different missions in open space. With over 1,500 experiments done in the five research modules, the station has been responsible for many important scientific discoveries and breakthroughs.

E. Besides performing experiments, all astronauts that reside at the ISS are living experiments themselves. That's because they allow scientists to monitor the effects of zero gravity on the human body and seek out solutions to fight them. For example, one of the biggest illnesses suffered by astronauts used to be weakened bones and muscles. Today, the effects have been reduced by changing their diets and adding a gym to the ISS.

F. Psychological health which is as important as physical well-being has also been improved by providing the astronauts with tiny cabins that allow for some time to be alone and the opportunity to talk to their loved ones in private. These improvements are very important for the scientists that visit the ISS for short or longer periods of time.

A. ________

B. Windmills have been around for hundreds of years. But the modern wind turbine, which turns the energy of the wind into electricity was invented in the 1880s. They have become ever more important to energy supplies because they do not contribute to climate change. A new wind turbine, designed to look like a tree, could help bring green energy to cities and homes.

C. This tree’s leaves don’t flutter, they spin. And while spinning they can generate enough electricity to keep the lights on for a family of four. The Wind Tree is a wind turbine that might not look out of place in a city square, or even in your back garden. It looks like a metal tree, with leaf-shaped mini-turbines that turn the wind into power.

D. While wind power is a vital part of the UK’s energy supply, some people complain that giant wind turbines are ugly. Others worry about the danger to birds who might fly into them. At about five metres tall, these smaller WindTrees solve both problems. They also run silently. You might not even notice they’re there.

E. New World Wind, the company behind the “wind tree”, is set to release a new design next year that will be able to generate three times as much power. One leaf will be capable of producing up to 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. So the 36-leaf-WindTree has a maximum annual output of 36,000 kWh. Running in normal weather, a family with a WindTree in their garden could save 12 tonnes of CO2 a year. Would you want a WindTree near you?

F. Renewable energy is one of the most important ways we have of reducing carbon emissions. But reducing energy use is just as important. What can you do to save power at home or at school?
