Abstract
The present paper explores the possibilities for international cooperation through hands-on space education onboard the International Space Station. The purpose is not only to provide a direct and real-life educational experience but also to link together students and teachers from many countries as an integrated team with a common goal. The role of the International Space University is important in facilitating these student international cooperation efforts on the International Space Station.
