Supplying the Space Station
Several different spacecraft, designed and flown by various nations that are
part of the international partnership that makes the Space Station possible,
make regular visits to the Space Station, delivering astronauts, spare parts,
and critical supplies like food, water, and fuel. Some, like Russia’s Progress
and Soyuz, have been in service many years. Others, like Japan’s H-2B
Transfer Vehicle (HTV) and Europe’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV),
were developed especially for the Space Station. Others still, like the United
States’s Dragon and Cygnus, are brand new. One, the Space Shuttle, has
been retired after serving for many years as the Station’s main construction
and supply vehicle.
Unscramble the mixed up letters below to identify the many spacecraft that
have kept the Space Station supplied, then do the same for the names of
the nations or group of nations that provided them. Lastly, draw lines to
connect each spacecraft to its provider!
(Hint: Some providers have produced more than one spacecraft!)
