The International Space Station (called the ISS) can host up to ten people at the same time. There are currently six people living and working on this orbiting laboratory. One of those lucky six, a flight engineer, is Major Tim Peake, the first Briton in space in over 20 years! There have been 7 British citizens in space so far.
