ISS Missions 1

A spacecraft mission to the ISS includes its launch from earth, attaining orbit and docking with the station. At the end of the mission the spacecraft either returns to Earth or is deliberately destroyed by a controlled return into the Earth's atmosphere.

The duration of a mission varies, depending on the craft used and purpose of the mission. Space shuttle missions, which return to Earth, are typically short, from a few days to a week.

Crewed spacecraft remain docked at the station until they are replaced with 'fresh' spacecraft. They then return to earth. Most cargo only craft remain docked until the docking port is required. They are the de-orbited and destroyed.
