Zarya, launched on Nov. 20, 1998, was the first piece of the International Space Station. Also known as the Functional Cargo Block (FGB), it would provide a nucleus of orientation control, communications and electrical power while the station waited for its other elements. Two weeks later, on Dec. 4, 1998, NASA's space shuttle Endeavour launched Unity, the first U.S. piece of the complex, during the STS-88 mission.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 56% 99%; object-position: 56% 99%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg 1041w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg?resize=300,224 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg?resize=768,573 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg?resize=1024,764 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg?resize=400,299 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg?resize=600,448 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/s99-03777.jpg?resize=900,672 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\" \/><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">On Dec. 6, 1998, the crew of space shuttle mission STS-88 began construction of the International Space Station, attaching the U.S.-built Unity node and the Russian-built Zarya module together in orbit.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"zarya\" class=\"hds-story width-full maxw-full bg-carbon-05 hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-story\">\n\t<div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block padding-y-9 padding-x-4\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-6 desktop:padding-right-5 margin-bottom-6 desktop:margin-bottom-0\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"subtitle-md\">Roscosmos<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"display-48\">Zarya Module<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"heading-18 line-height-md\">Launched on Nov. 20, 1998<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p-md\">The Zarya Module was the first component launched for the International Space Station.
