the iss: the largest space object sent into orbit
73 m long with a wingspan of 109 m with its solar panels, the international space station (iss) is the largest (and the heaviest at 400 tonnes) object placed in orbit by humanity. but not all at once: it took about forty launches! in contrast, mini or even nano-satellites are increasingly being used, some as small as cubes of 10 cm and others even tinier.
