International Space Station (ISS) is one of the biggest habitable artificial satellite of Earth. A joint effort from 15 countries including the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and United Kingdom.

So to celebrate the completion of its 16 year milestone, NASA has released 16 intriguing moments from the space station that has been mainly used for microgravity and space environment research.
