2011 The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the greatest technological, geopolitical and engineering accomplishments in human
history. The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientific
research, technology development, exploration and education.
As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other government
agencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone working
together, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth.
This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical
events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrate
each and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders. I hope you enjoy the
calendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year.
Regards,
MICHAEL T. S U F F REDINI
ISS Program Manager

2011 For nearly a decade, crew members on board the space station have taken
thousands of photos of the Earth below. From fiery volcanoes spewing
smoke and lava to icy lakes and glaciers in the coldest environments of our
planet, crews have given humankind views of these natural phenomena
from one of the most unusual perspectives available.

2011 Living aboard the space station presents some unique challenges for the astronauts. Sleeping,
eating and exercising are just as critical in space as they are on Earth, but all have to be done
Grey Glacier
in an almost weightless environment. Astronauts have to strap in to sleep and/or take a jog.
They also have to remember to attach their food to something when they are not holding it
so it doesn’t float away. While living in space takes a bit of adjusting, working to help improve
life on Earth makes it all worthwhile.

Rationing and recycling
are essential parts of life
on the station. For power,
light from the sun is
converted into electricity
through the use of solar
arrays. Wastewater is
collected, processed and
stored from the space
shuttle’s fuel cells as well
as from urine, oral hygiene
and hand washing, and
by condensing humidity
from the air. Careful
water recycling reduces
the amount required from
Earth to resupply the
station by 60 percent.
