 ==Overview==
-The first [[human]] space station in the modern era was the [[Wikipedia:Russia|Russian]] [[Wikipedia:Salyut 1|Salyut 1]], launched on April 19, 1971. Following the success of the Salyut-series in the 1980s, the Russians launched the [[wikipedia:Mir|Mir]] on 20 February 1986. The Mir was the first modular space station capable of supporting multiple unit modules, thus allowing greater flexibility in operation, as well as removing the need for a single immensely powerful launch vehicle.
+[[Human]] space stations were constructed across [[Sol system|Sol]] with the advent of interplanetary colonization in the late 21st century, followed by [[Human colonies|other star systems]] in humanity's subsequent interstellar era. By the 26th century, space stations had come to fill a broad range of roles as starship construction and docking facilities, heavily-armed defensive outposts, [[UNSC fleet|fleet]] support, even as colony habitats, in addition to their original primary role as science facilities.
-In 1998, five space agencies came together and initiated the [[wikipedia:International Space Station program|International Space Station programme]], a global effort to construct a space station for research purposes in a microgravity and space environment as well as serving as a landing platform for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to [[Luna|the Moon]] and [[Mars]].
-More space stations were constructed across [[Sol system|Sol]] with the advent of interplanetary colonization in the late 21st century, followed by [[Human colonies|other star systems]] in humanity's subsequent interstellar era. By the 26th century, space stations had come to fill a broad range of roles as starship construction and docking facilities, heavily-armed defensive outposts, [[UNSC fleet|fleet]] support, even as colony habitats, in addition to their original primary role as science facilities.
