The International Space Station (国際宇宙ステーション, Kokusai Uchū Sutēshon), often shortened to the ISS, is a habitable artificial satellite in low Earth orbit, populated; by the astronauts. It is the only known location containing humans that; wasn't touched; by the Petrification.

Description

The space station is designed to be a permanent orbiting research facility. It is a multinational project between NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA, however only the first three had astronauts onboard. Its major purpose is to perform science and research in a microgravity environment.

It is approximately 73 meters long and 103 meters wide, with 8 solar arrays arranged in two 'H' shapes on either end. The design is modular, and was assembled in space. It orbits approximately 390 kilometers above Earth's surface, traveling at a speed of 27,600km/h, completing 16 orbits per day.

History

A day before the petrification, Byakuya Ishigami, Shamil Volkov, and Lillian Weinberg left Earth to join Darya Nikitina, Yakov Nikitin, and Connie Lee onboard the International Space Station. While most of them were there to work, Lillian had bought a seat and was there to perform in space. Soon after they'd arrived, they observed the petrification event from space, and lost connection with everyone on the surface. Byakuya realized that they were the last remaining humans, and they needed to return to Earth to save the rest of humanity.

After 60 hours of planning, a team of three astronauts, Shamil, Lillian, and Connie, arrived on Earth via the Soyuz shuttles, however their capsule had flipped and they couldn't leave without flooding the interior. In order to save them, the other three astronauts returned to Earth, abandoning the ISS in space.
