[[File:MPLM_inside_the_SSPF.jpg|thumb|270px|The [[Space Station Processing Facility]] at [[Kennedy Space Center]] - the prime factory for final fabrication and processing of station components for launch]]
{{R from draft}}
The [[International Space Station program|project]] to create the [[International Space Station]] required the utilization and/or construction of new and existing [[factory|manufacturing facilities]] around the world, mostly in the [[United States]] and [[European Space Agency|Europe]]. The agencies overseeing the manufacturing involved [[NASA]], [[Roscosmos]], the [[European Space Agency]], [[JAXA]], and the [[Canadian Space Agency]]. Hundreds of contractors<ref>https://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/International_Space_Station/Companies_involved_with_ISS</ref> working for the five space agencies were assigned the task of fabricating the modules, trusses, experiments and other hardware elements for the station, and launching them individually in modular segments for the in-orbit [[Assembly of the International Space Station|assembly]].
}}

<!-- Template:Draftshell-->
The fact that the project involved the co-operation of fifteen countries working together created engineering challenges that had to be overcome: most notably the differences in language, culture and politics, but also engineering processes, management, measuring standards and communication; to ensure that all elements connect together and function according to plan. The ISS agreement program also called for the station components to be made highly durable and versatile - as it is intended to be used by astronauts indefinitely. A series of new engineering and manufacturing processes and equipment were developed, and shipments of steel, aluminum and other materials were needed for the construction of the space station components.<ref>https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/elements/integrated-truss-structure</ref>
==History and planning==
The project, which began as an American effort, was long delayed by funding and technical problems. Originally called [[Space Station Freedom]] in the 1980s by Ronald Reagan, who authorized the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to build it within 10 years, it was redesigned in the 1990s to reduce costs and expand international involvement, at which time it was renamed. In 1993 the United States and Russia agreed to merge their separate space station plans into a single facility integrating their respective modules and incorporating contributions from the European Space Agency and Japan.<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/International-Space-Station</ref> In later months, an international agreement board recruited several more space agencies and companies to collaborate to the project. The [[International Organization for Standardization]] played a crutial role in unifying and overcoming different engineering methods, languages, standards and teqniques to ensure quality, engineering communication and logistical management across all manufacturing activities of the station components.
