The International Space Station is a 400-ton, $160 billion platform that supports an international team of 3-5 astronauts for tours of duty lasting up to 6 months at a time.
Like all satellites that orbit close to Earth, the atmosphere causes the ISS orbit to decay steadily every day, so the ISS has to be 're-boosted' every few months to prevent it from burning up in the atmosphere.
